Lee Newton states “I am absolutely delighted to have won this award, again, for the fourth year running. It's a massive achievement for a 200 employee strong, privately owned company to hold our place at the top of the events industry! Although we are rapidly growing our event portfolio, our main focus always remains centred on putting on the best event in our area of expertise and to be the outright winner in this category is testament to this

Rachel Bull, associate editor of Event and chair of the awards judging panel  states: "Media 10 was the worthy winner of Event magazine's Exhibition Organiser of the Year award for the fourth consecutive year. Its ever-expanding portfolio of well-known exhibitions, as well as its international reach, impressed the judges. Media 10's continuous vigour to develop its existing shows and create stellar new ones, such as the Coronation Festival in Buckingham Palace Gardens, means it will be hard to beat in 2014."
