Pictured at the prestigious awards, which took place on 28 April at the iconic Lloyds building in the city of London, Drive directors Ben Fender and Imogen Hammond were thrilled to receive the accolade in the 'Best Supplier' category as presented by TV host Gaby Roslin and  Harpal Kumar CEO of Cancer Research UK 
 
Speaking this week about their success at reaching the final shortlist, Mr Fender said:

"Working with Cancer Research UK has been a fantastic opportunity to align our company with a highly motivated charity who work tirelessly to fund breakthrough scientific research destined to help millions of sufferers and their families worldwide whose lives have been affected by cancer.

To receive recognition for the part we have played to assist them in their fundraising and publicity endeavours by producing high profile events is such an honour and I am so proud of all our creative and dedicated producers for always going the extra mile for this special client."
 
In addition to last year’s Emeralds and Ivy Ball, Drive are now gearing up for the Emerald & Ivy 2009 event.  As suppliers to CRUK they have worked on a number of high profile events in the charity's fundraising calendar for the past four years.

As well as producing the music memorabilia auction Sound & Vision at Abbey Road Studios, which this year featured live sets from music legends such as Paul Weller and the Stereophonics, they have provided technical and show production services for the Bobby Moore Fund Sports Quiz and the Corporate Awards.
