Why I’m Backing The Gift Awards: Hyve Group’s Julie Driscoll

No strangers to extolling the virtues of people being in the same room, Hyve Group, organisers of Spring Fair and Autumn Fair, were committed to The Gift Awards 2022 long before the news broke of the tie-up between The Giftware Association’s Gift of the Year Awards (GOTYs) and Max Publishing’s The Greats Gift Retailer Awards.

“With its long-standing history and heritage in the giftware industry, and support for The Greats Awards and the GOTYs, as well as The Giftware Association and Max Publishing, the Spring and Autumn Fair team are really looking forward joining the industry as it unites for The Gift Awards 2022,” said Julie Driscoll, divisional managing director of Hyve Group, who adds that among the Award sponsors are many of the company’s exhibitors.

Earlier this year, Julie supported the GOTY awards by creating valuable space during Spring Fair 2022, where a panel of industry experts judged the fiercely contested product categories.

Commented Julie: “We were blown away by the quality of entries during the judging at Spring Fair in February and we can’t wait to celebrate with all involved at The Gift Awards.”

Tickets and tables for the awards event, hosted by celebrity comedian Charlie Baker, can be booked via the Max Publishing digital box office event at Max-Tickets.net, or by contacting event organiser Createvents: clare@createvents.co.uk or 0118 334 0085.
