Best Bar None - Announce Shortlist

On Friday Best Bar None (BBN) announced their 2019 short list for their National Awards. . The competition will now go into its final stage of judging, ahead of the awards ceremony held at the House of Lords on Tuesday 4th February 2020.

Sheffield once again features in the short list for the Best Overall Scheme; our many congratulations to Tracey Ford and the rest of Sheffield DACT, and all the team involved in the scheme.

Our Tim Shield, who has acted as a Judge for the Sheffield Scheme for several years, said:

“Best Bar None is an important scheme and the drive and passion of the Sheffield BBN team has once again been reflected in this nomination. We at John Gaunt & Partners are proud to continue to support the scheme….  Sheffield has a very active and healthy scheme and from the applications the Judges reviewed as part of the blind judging process this year, it is clear that standards are continuing to rise with all participants fully buying in to the ethos of continuing to make Sheffield a safe late night community.”

BBN continues to grow across the UK and we reported in January about a new scheme in Manchester Airport.  Best new schemes (those open less than 18  months) shortlisted this year are Cumbria, Worcester and Havering.
