Roger Pellow, Labelexpo managing director, said: 'After the enormous success of last year’s Awards, we are delighted to announce the dates and venue for this year’s ceremony and gala dinner.  In addition, we are pleased to announce the nominees for this year’s Awards.  The line up of both individuals and companies is outstanding and it’s going to be fascinating to see how the industry votes.  I would advise anyone thinking of attending the event to contact us soon about their table, as last year they sold out well before the event.'
