The ceremony, which takes place on 10 April 2024 at the Exhibition Centre Liverpool, will round off day one of the UKIFDA EXPO & Conference 2024.

No doubt, there will be some insightful takeaways to encourage us all to push boundaries and experiment, individually in our everyday lives, as businesses and at industry level too.
