Adrian Chiles was the host of this year’s Brand & Lifestyle Licensing Awards, an event held at London’s Hilton Park Lane Hotel and welcoming over 400 licensors, licensees, agents and retailers from across the licensing industry.
Chiles lead the ceremony – now in its fourth year – handing out accolades across categories spanning product, property and retail winners, as well as naming the 2019 Brand Licensing Ambassador.
The evening was kickstarted with a pre-lunch opening address from Giles Andrea, creator of Purple Ronnie and The Interesting Thoughts of Edward Monkton, and co-creator of Happy Jackson, who shared his story of building brands.
