Strictly star Anton du Beke to host the Forecourt Trader Awards

Strictly Come Dancing star Anton du Beke has been announced as the host for next week’s glittering Forecourt Trader Awards night.

The celebrity ballroom and Latin dancer has become a household name through his appearances in the highly popular Strictly Come Dancing series - the only one of two professionals to take part in every series of the show. As the series kicks off again this month, he’s now one of the judges. He is also a frequent guest on other shows from The Wright Stuff to Countdown to Hole In The Wall.

“The Forecourt Trader team are very excited to welcome Anton to the awards,” said Forecourt Trader editor Merril Boulton. “He will certainly add a huge touch of glamour to an already glamorous event, and is very well matched to this year’s theme ‘Let’s Have a Ball’. After the past 18 months, we’re all looking forward to a great night out, meeting up again with friends and colleagues, and recognising the best in the industry.”

The Forecourt Trader Awards take place on Thursday, September 30, at the Park Plaza, Westminster. They are most prestigious and respected competition in the UK’s petrol retailing calendar, and will again reward the brightest and best in the industry - those pushing the boundaries of hard work and innovation in the pursuit of excellence.
