The National Stars 2002
Third Annual awards event for National Australia Group (GB).

Walnut Media devised the concept for the National Stars awards in 2000, as a way to recognise and reward exceptional performance by staff at all levels in Yorkshire Bank and Clydesdale Bank - the constituents of National Australia Group (GB).

We managed and produced all aspects of the three day event including a full programme of activities and the production of a prestigious awards show. Our remit included the design and production of awards materials, management of the technical facilities, and the coordination of the communications programme leading up to the event.

We worked closely with corporate travel specialists Traveleads to coordinate catering, travel and accommodation for the 250 winners and guests. The 2002 event was staged at the prestigious St Andrews Bay Resort Hotel in Scotland. Following a motivational business session and a range of outdoor activities, the celebrations culminated in a spectacular awards dinner and show.

The awards show was hosted by Tony Robinson, in character as Baldrick and TV presenter Georgey Spanswick. Musical entertainment was provided by Bobby Davro, Kenny Lynch and a 12-piece swing band. To recognise the achievement of winners, we produced a series of short video inserts dramatising their achievements in the style of cinematic trailers.
