More than 200 guests attended the National Gallery to celebrate the Country Range Group’s (CRG) annual ‘An Evening With…’ event and awards ceremony, which was hosted by TV personality Vernon Kay.
Country Range Group chief executive Martin Ward said: “It’s always a highlight of our year bringing together our dedicated members and valued supplier partners for our annual ‘An Evening With…’ awards evening and this year’s celebration was certainly no different.
“The National Gallery is a stunningly iconic venue steeped in history and provided the perfect backdrop for the night’s entertainment. It’s been a hugely positive 12 months for the Group and as we have just finalised our next five-year strategy development, we are ensuring that the Group and our membership are well positioned to grow profitably in the coming years in spite of a difficult marketplace. A huge congratulations to all the award winners and a heartfelt thank you to every single person who has contributed to the Group’s successes over the past year,” he added.
