PAN PACIFIC LONDON
Located in Bishopsgate in the heart of the City of London, moments from Liverpool Street Station, Pan Pacific London is on the doorstep of world-renowned locations, yet also home to its own inner world. A haven in the heart of the City designed by Yabu Pushelberg, the hotel takes innovation and understated luxury to new heights. Epitomising the juxtaposition of old and new London architecture, Bishopsgate Plaza encapsulates a 43-storey bronze tower, home to Pan Pacific London and private residential apartments whilst the 144-year- old Devonshire House showcases designer shops, a restaurant and a contemporary destination cocktail bar. A landscaped public plaza seamlessly connects these two cultural hubs together, making it a 24-hour destination for meeting, living, working and discovering.

I am delighted that Pan Pacific London is hosting the Rising Star Awards next year, especially with the new category – “Women in Hospitality” – added for 2022. As the General Manager of Pan Pacific London, this award is very important to me as it celebrates the success and achievement of women in an industry that is so often overlooked.
“All the awards presented are important, not only because they recognise these amazing individuals but also that they have the power to inspire so many others.”
“We are really looking forward to welcoming everyone to Pan Pacific London and congratulating those who have done so much to improve the lives of the people in the community around them.”
ANNE GOLDEN | GENERAL MANAGER, PAN PACIFIC LONDON

SOUTHEND VOX CHOIR
Southend Vox is a dynamic and captivating not-for-profit community choir that loves to entertain! Founded in 2009, the choir was established to create a modern and unique approach to choral singing in the Southend community. Starting out with a handful of singers, the choir today consists of nearly 50 members from in and around the Southend-on-Sea area. Vox sing an eclectic mix of pop classics, show songs, spirituals and contemporary pieces, and have performed at a number of prestigious venues including Union Chapel and most recently, The Royal Albert Hall.
