Visit East Yorkshire events team win national award
Mon 2nd December 2024
The Visit East Yorkshire Events Team have won Event Organiser of the Year at the National Outdoor Events Association (NOEA) awards.
The awards ceremony took place in the Roman Baths and Pump Rooms, Bath, on Tuesday, 26 November.
NOEA is the UK’s leading trade association representing and progressing the outdoor events sector. The awards recognise outstanding dedication to delivering exceptional experiences in outdoor events. The esteemed awards celebrate the creativity and marvellous achievements of participants from across the country.
Earlier in the day the National Outdoor Event Association Convention had taken place, looking at the New Events World 2025, and by the quality of the entries and winners, the outlook for the industry should be positive, despite the many headwinds it continues to face.
The judges of the awards underlined both the continues competitiveness of the awards, and the quality of the entries, up over 30% from previous years. The judges commented: “This felt like a really ‘people-orientated’ awards event. The businesses and events that won put great people at the core of what they do, and the individual awards celebrated some very special people.”
Councillor Nick Coultish, cabinet member for culture, leisure and tourism at East Riding of Yorkshire Council, said: "This award is recognition of our fantastic team who have delivered and supported over 40 tourism events in 2024 and for all their hard work, creativity and organisation over the past 12 months.
‘’To win this award for the second year running is an incredible achievement and as a council we are proud of their drive in showcasing the East Riding of Yorkshire as a visitor destination through the medium of tourism events.’’
