Preparations are underway for tonight’s AM Awards 2022 as the top performing car retail sector businesses and employees head to London to celebrate their successes.

The showcase black tie event will welcome ITV News anchor Nina Hossain as host and comedian Milton Jones as it heads to the Westminster Bridge Hotel, at the heart of the capital, this evening.

Guests are invited to follow the action via AM’s Twitter account, @AMchatter, and share their experiences from the night on the same platform using the hashtag #AMAwards.

A total 25 awards will be presented on the night, in front of a sell-out audience.

The full list of awards finalists can be viewed on AM-online.

Event host and ITV News anchor Hossain will be announcing the winners.

Also the face of BBC’s Hard Spell contest, delivering spelling challenges to test the nation’s schoolchildren, Hossain started her broadcasting career as a producer, reporter and presenter on Border Television, also hosts press conferences for ITV and the BFI including Broadchurch and Liar, where she interviews a range of actors, writers and directors.

Comedian Milton Jones will provide the after-dinner laughs.

He’s also been a regular writer on BBC1’s hit Not Going Out, is a panel show regular and writer and star of Radio 4 series Another Case of Milton Jones, Thanks a Lot, Milton Jones!, and The Very World of Milton Jones describes his live act as “weaving threads of ideas with the tatters of his life, to fashion a uniquely fetching jumper of obscurity”.
