AWARDS <strong>2018</strong><br />
THE WINNERS<br />
To fittingly complete the evening the<br />
AWD and <strong>Welding</strong> <strong>World</strong> Association<br />
Directors Award was presented to Adrian<br />
Hawkins.<br />
On a night of top entertainment for<br />
the audience, along with the tension of<br />
the awards, there was some light relief as<br />
modern jazz band Bella and the Bourbon<br />
Boys played through the evening meal<br />
while there was also close-up table magic<br />
from magician Matthew Knight and an<br />
unexpected (but scheduled!) musical<br />
interlude from one of the ‘waiting staff.’<br />
The chosen charity on the evening<br />
was Kidney Cancer UK which is the UKs<br />
leading kidney cancer charity, which aims<br />
to increase knowledge and awareness of<br />
the disease whilst also supporting research<br />
into causes, prevention and treatment.<br />
After a remarkable speech from Dave<br />
Ellwood, who described his own battle<br />
with the disease, a fantastic £10,276 was<br />
raised for the charity.<br />
