Hot from your screens as the host of the smash hit reality television show The Traitors, Winkleman will be helping the Morning Advertiser reveal the winners at the biggest awards event in the hospitality calendar.
Going from the biggest show on telly, to the biggest show in the pub and bar sector, Claudia will be hosting the awards night at London Evolution, Battersea on March 26 where we will be revealing which companies are the best in the business.
Ed Bedington, editor of the Morning Advertiser, said: “We’re delighted to have Claudia take time out from hosting smash hit TV shows, and help us present our own smash hit event as well!
“The Publican Awards is the stand out event in the industry calendar and celebrates the best operators in the business, so it’s great to have one of TVs best presenters join us on the night to mark that occasion.”
The awards are sponsored by Access, Britvic, Carlsberg Marston’s UK, Coca Cola Europacific Partners, Damm UK, Diageo, Heineken, Illy, Molson Coors, Poppleston Allen and Sky.
