Bristol Life Awards 2023 Showguide

CELEBRATING THE BEST IN BRISTOL

ASHTON GATE STADIUM, 16 MARCH 2023

Ocities. But don’t be taken in. It’s a little like the swans that glide so serenely across the harbour; under the water, those feet are paddling like crazy. Similarly, while Bristol can be laidback to the point of being horizontal when it suits it, this free and easy manner belies the huge ambition, determination and creativity that drives its businesses.

Reading through the hundreds of nominations for the Bristol Life Awards this year made that crystal clear. It filled us with so much admiration for these businesses, and got us thinking: why haven’t they been making a louder noise about how brilliant they are? Well, that in a nutshell is what the Awards are all about. Tonight, is a celebration of all that’s great about Bristol; to all our finalists, congratulations from all of us. A big thanks, too, to everyone who has played a part in making this event happen, from our blamelessly independent panel of judges to our sponsors; we literally couldn’t do it without you.

Those who have been to one of our Awards before will know what to expect: a bit of (hopefully amusing) chat from the stage, a cracking meal, the announcement of the winners, and then the afterparty, which for your convenience is taking place downstairs in the Sports Bar. We ask only that you enjoy every single moment, while making full use of the unrivalled networking opportunities – this is the business event in Bristol, offering endless potential connections and relationships, so let’s see you mingling!

Look out for the results and party pics in our mega Bristol Life Awards review in the 21 April issue. Our photographers are roaming as we speak, so you may just spot yourself in the crowd…

Thanks so much for coming. Have an amazing night.

Your host for this evening

DAVID FLATMAN (‘FLATS’)

Flats has been wittily yomping his way around the corporate circuit for a number of years, establishing himself as an accomplished awards host and after dinner speaker. Since making his debut on TV back in 2005, Flats has gained increasing respect as a studio guest, co-commentator and presenter as well as journalist. In September 2009, The Independent on Sunday signed him up to produce his first broadsheet article, and in August 2011 he became Sport Magazine’s first and only Rugby Union columnist.

Flats retired from professional rugby in June 2012 due to a career-ending injury and has established himself as a firm favourite in the corporate hospitality circuit. He is also an increasingly familiar presence on TV –currently presenting the weekly Gallagher Premiership highlights show on ITV4 as well as a co-commentator for BT Sport.

In 2015, Flats was named in ITV’s Rugby World Cup team to co-commentate on its live matches, while he has also been an integral part of its Six Nations and Women’s Rugby World Cup coverage. In 2019 Flats played an even bigger role in ITV’s Rugby World Cup coverage when he was named England reporter, as well as co-commentator, and pitch side presenter for their games which saw viewing figures reach almost 13 million.

Flats is one half of the hugely successful Flats and Shanks rugby podcast. Such is its success that, in 2018, the duo was announced as presenters of ITV’s first Six Nations podcast which debuted at number 1 in the iTunes Podcast chart the first week of its release.

“I’m looking forward to a night of fun,” says Flats.

“Bring it on, Bristol!”

And bring it on, Flats…

THE JUDGES

Each year, there’s a fresh panel of impeccably impartial and independent judges for the Bristol Life Awards. It’s a disparate group, drawn from different sectors and sizes of business. They and they alone will decide the winners…

In 2017 Paul co-founded Huboo, an eCommerce fulfilment partner. With a background in engineering and distribution, Paul understood the pitfalls of fulfilment, which led him to create Huboo’s unique hub system and to write the first hub software programme.
