’Best of British’ on parade in London

Patrick Sewell and his team at Sewell on the go South Cave were the triumphant overall victors at last month’s glorious celebration of the Best of British fuel retailers, held at the London Hilton on Park Lane, in front of a record crowd.

The spectacular evening was hosted by the ebullient all-round entertainer Brian Conley, who joked, sang and danced his way into the hearts of a lively audience, as he announced the many winners on the night. A packed evening of entertainment included a marching band, free after-dinner bar, union-jack dance-floor, photo booth, Scalextric and a casino and a great time was had by all.

Read on for a full run-down of all the amazing winners on the night.
