Tom Allen to host the 2024 GIMA Awards

Comedian, presenter and Sunday Times bestselling author, Tom Allen, has been confirmed as the host of the 2024 GIMA Awards.

Taking to the stage on 7th November at the five-star Celtic Manor Resort in Newport, South Wales, Tom Allen is expected to be a huge draw for those attending the awards ceremony, which each year celebrates the innovation, dedication and passion of those garden product manufacturers actively driving the future of garden retail.

Sure to bring his signature acerbic wit and riotous storytelling to proceedings, Tom will lead guests through an illustrious list of winners, a surefire career highlight alongside his work on The Apprentice: You’re Fired, Cooking with the Stars, Bake Off: An Extra Slice, Live at the Apollo, Celebrity Googlebox, The Last Leg, and QI amongst others.

Outside of TV, Tom can also be heard on BBC Radio 3 and BBC Sounds as the host of Monsters of Music, as well as showsTom Allen Is Not Very Nice’, ‘Just a Minute’, ‘The News Quiz’ and ‘Loose Ends’.  Tom also co-hosts the hit podcast ‘Like Minded Friends’ alongside Suzi Ruffell and is also a Sunday Times bestselling author with his memoirs ‘No Shame’ and ‘Too Much’. Finally, Tom is an accomplished comedian, with a 50,000 strong sell-out tour under his belt, including his latest stand-up show ‘Completely’ finishing its run earlier this summer.

GIMA Director Vicky Nuttall said: “Until now only a handful of people have known about Tom joining us at our 2024 awards and the response has been phenomenal, so I have no doubt that now the cat is out of the bag that we’re going to see a flurry of ticket sales! Tom is sure to be an incredible host and will help make the 2024 GIMA Awards truly memorable.”
