Bristol Diversity Awards 2020 Powered By
In March 2017 E-commedia launched the inaugural Bristol Diversity Awards as part of BCfm Radio's tenth anniversary celebrations with plans to make them an annual event that encompassed all area's of diversity across the city.
With an array of specific award ceremonies already taking place in Bristol it was felt that a format that included all diversity strands would both strengthen and compliment the existing ceremonies.
E-commedia founder and BCfm Radio CEO Pat Hart said...
"The Bristol Diversity Awards represent everything we do and help to encourage businesses, individuals, community organisations and statutory groups to embrace all areas of diversity and equality with the opportunity to get recognised for it in a high profile way"
Bristol's Marriot Hotel was the venue for both a celebration and special presentation to the 2017 winners.
