A HUGE thank you to this little lot who gave their valuable time this evening to judge the inaugural TBE Awards, joining us both online and in-person at in Swindon.

Those who joined us in-person battled the horrible stormy conditions at 5pm to get to us, and some of those who joined at home were battling water ingress from the high water levels. Nonetheless they committed their time both tonight and prior to this session, with hours of reading to reach their decisions.

I can’t wait to announce the finalists on Friday! Good luck to all our entrants 🍀
