Last night the UK Screen Association turned the spotlight on another fantastic year of achievements in audio post-production, at the fifth annual Conch Awards. Winners, nominees and sponsors alike enjoyed a fantastic evening of peer recognition, networking and entertainment at Floridita in Wardour Street, London.
Gaynor Davenport, Chief Executive, UK Screen Association, said, “Now in their fifth year, the Conch Awards are firmly established in the industry calendar as a key event and a barometer of excellence in the audio sector.
