Yesterday, Sir Terence Conran collected the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award at Hotelympia – the UK’s largest hospitality trade show – recognising the impact he has made on the London restaurant and hotel scene during more than five decades in hospitality.
The respected design guru and restaurateur, receiving the award from Chairman of Montgomery Exhibitions, Sandy Angus, said, “It’s really thrilling to get this award, although I always get a bit worried about ‘lifetime achievement’ awards – it sounds as if it’s all over. In my case there’s a hell of a lot more to do.”
