"It is such an honour for the whole Diversified team particularly when you consider the competition within this category. One of the show's real strengths has always been its niche, boutique appeal, so for it to win against such established, and much bigger events really is an enormous achievement and a real recognition of the impact that lunch! has made within the industry."
