The winners of the 2020 Brand & Lifestyle Licensing Awards were crowned last night in a virtual ceremony

The industry came together for the Brand and Lifestyle Licensing Awards (B&LLAs) on 9 November for a special virtual ceremony to find out the product, property and retail winners as well as the 2020 Brand Licensing Ambassador.

Nadiya Hussain spoke to all the attendees in a special interview with Max Publishing’s Sam Loveday about the journey that created her licensing programme. Alan Dedicoat – the ‘voice of the balls’ for the National Lottery and Strictly Come Dancing announcer – acted as the awards announcer.

Top licensing names came together to sponsor awards, and pre-and-post awards people were able to network and socialise in dedicated session rooms. Brand Licensing Europe and Licensing International gave strong support to the event.
