The TV and radio presenter Jenny Powell is to present the glittering glass trophies at this year’s Installer Awards, which takes place on 10 March and is brought to you by Glass and Glazing Products (GGP) magazine. “It will be fantastic to have Jenny bring her unique brand of glamour and fun to our presentation ceremony in just over five weeks’ time,” said Charissa King, GGP‘s editor.
Attendees of GGP‘s Installer Awards may remember watching Jenny on a range of TV programmes, including Top of the Pops, To Buy or Not to Buy and Channel 4’s Brass Eye. She was a contestant on Channel 4’s Celebrity Come Dine with Me and BBC One’s Celebrity Masterchef. In 2012 and 2013, she featured in ITV2’s Lemon La Vida Loca. Four years later, she co-hosted the new ITV1 game show, BigHeads, alongside Jason Manford and Kriss Akabussi.
Last year, Jenny hosted two award events led by GGP‘s sister magazine, Roofing Cladding and Insulation (RCI). “Attendees of RCI‘s events have been overwhelmingly positive about Jenny,” Charissa continued. “I have no doubt that she’ll do an incredible job at GGP‘s event too. You won’t want to miss it! Book your tickets online, here, or call Callum, on 01732 748 063.”
