Taking place at the London Hilton on Park Lane on 5 September, the Baking Industry Awards is a premier networking event that anyone working in - or connected with - the bakery industry will not want to miss.

As Tesco category director Gordon Gafa said recently: “The Baking Industry Awards are the highlight of the bakery calendar and a privilege to be part of, always graced by the most important players in the industry.”

With an ‘Oceanic’ theme, this year’s event will begin with a champagne reception that will be followed by a three-course dinner.

Stephen is one of the most in-demand television presenters today, with a string of smash hit television shows including Catchphrase and Britain’s Got More Talent.

As well as his TV career, Stephen is an experienced all-round entertainer, having performed his very own magic and one-man variety shows up and down the country for the past 12 years. He even has a BAFTA Award under his belt.
