85th Annual NTDA Dinner/Tyre Industry Awards sold out

The 85th NTDA Annual Dinner has sold out, according to the association. The event, which is being held at the Hilton Deansgate, Manchester, England on Wednesday 8 October 2014 is therefore forced to put some people on a waiting list.

NTDA director Stefan Hay said: “We have been inundated with people who want to attend the dinner, with just under two months to go, we are fully booked with 520 guests confirmed and now a waiting list of people, who will probably be left disappointed.”

The association reports that there has also been huge interest for the Tyre Industry Awards with well over 10,000 votes having already been cast on the NTDA website.

Stefan Hay continued: “Support from industry and the business community for the new awards format has been terrific, with BlueSky Pensions, Continental, Goodyear Dunlop, Infinity, Maritime Cargo Services, Pirelli, SingEx-ECi and Zenises all lining up as sponsors. We also had a record number of nominations this year and in many categories the finalists are now neck and neck with the vote leaders often changing on a daily basis.”

As with the final TAFF Awards in 2013, there is no postal voting and the only way to make your opinion count is via the NTDA website and all online votes must be entered by Friday 19 September 2014. Both NTDA members and non-members are eligible to vote.
