The 2024 PGGB Awards are a celebration of the depth and breadth of talent working within the UK production industry. Launching the evening in style, sponsors Cast & Crew, Sargent-Disc’s parent company, was delighted to welcome guests to the pre-Awards reception.
Award nominees across the six categories were a roll call of the best talent working within our industry. The winners all stressed the importance of the production team to deliver the very best work, and the quality of the talent they work alongside.
Producer, David Heyman (Barbie, Wonka and Paddington) was presented with the ‘Contribution to the Industry Award’ for his incredible body of work which includes all eight Harry Potter features, the three Fantastic Beasts movies, Paddington, Barbie and Wonka. He thanked the Guild and said, “This has been a really challenging period for the film and television industries in the UK – we’ve had COVID, we’ve had the strikes, and the economy in general has been struggling, to put it mildly. But I feel we’re turning a corner.”
“Next year, I think more productions will start up and more will come to the UK because it’s the best place in the world to make films and TV shows.”
Cast & Crew with Sargent-Disc hosted a table, and with our guests, we toasted the nominees and winners. We were delighted that Sargent-Disc founder Marija Sargent was able to join us, whom with the late John Sargent, won the 2018 PGGB ‘Contribution to the Industry’ Award.
