Top Hospitality prize for Aston Villa
Aston villa scooped the ‘Overall Matchday Hospitality Experience Gold Award for 2013′ at the prestigious Stadium Hospitality Awards.
The awards, hosted by Stadium Experience at Reading’s Madejski Stadium, recognise and reward exceptional standards in the industry, shining the spotlight on the off-the-pitch staff.
It was a good night for Villa, who also walked away with the ‘Premier League & National Stadia Matchday Hospitality Experience Award’, the ‘Media Choice Award’ along with the ‘Green Hospitality Bronze Award’.
“We work really hard behind-the-scenes to make sure our standards are always immensely high. We also attempt to break new ground and always strive to be pioneers in our industry. These awards give us a boost and tell us we are doing the right things but also encourages us to keep on going in our ongoing efforts to improve.
“A special mention to Carly too, who picked up a merit award. We’re very proud of her and confident she will have a big future in the industry.”
Alison Plant, Head of Sponsorship and Hospitality at Aston Villa, said: “What a night! We started the evening by winning the media choice award and finished it by emerging successful once again with the overall hospitality prize. We really couldn’t be happier. To win the main gong once is fantastic. To win it twice – and two years in a row at that – is terrific.
