“This year’s award recipients represent one of, if not the strongest line-ups of award winners we’ve ever selected,” said CTC president Richard Mitchell. “The winners represent all that is incredible about our industry and each and every one of them deserves the highest accolades for helping to drive the best movie going experiences for audiences around the world.  2021 has proved in many ways as challenging as 2020 but our industry has stood up, come together and innovated driving audiences back to cinemas.  And whilst we celebrate each of our winners we also acknowledge and honour the sad passing of Jon Kidder (National Amusements) who was such a respected technology voice for our industry.  On behalf of the Board of Directors, Governors, Advisory Council and our members, we congratulate our award recipient.”
