Assistant Chief of General Staff confirmed as Guest of Honour for Military Awards Dinner 2025

Major General Paul Griffiths CB will present the Military Communicator of the Year Awards at the Worshipful Company of Communicators annual Military Dinner in London.

The Annual Military Dinner, sponsored by Rolls-Royce, is a long-running event in the Company calendar. It is a traditional mess dinner and features the ever-popular military band, Guard of Honour plus a few extra surprises for this year. 

With a career of over 33 years, Major General Griffiths has covered roles including Army Chief of Staff, Chief People Officer and Commander 1st Signal Brigade, the British Army's high readiness communications brigade with over 3000 people spread across the UK and on operations globally.

Major General Griffiths will deliver a short after dinner speech and will present the Military Communicator of the Year Awards for each of the three Services, and the Civil Service, as well as special commendations for service personnel. 

The Awards recognise personal commitment, and occasionally personal courage on frontline duties, to capture and tell the story of our Armed Forces through words and images. Information manoeuvre is now a key domain in modern warfare and military communicators are vital assets to UK national defence.

For 2025, the Military Awards Dinner is returning to the spectacular setting of the Honourable Artillery Company in Moorgate, London. The venue will see the return of The Company of Pikemen & Musketeers to the Military Awards dinner, a ceremonial unit of the Honourable Artillery Company and one of only six royally-warranted bodies in the UK.

The Military Awards Dinner is proudly supported by Rolls-Royce as the event headline sponsor, with additional sponsorship from London Broadcast studios and ADS.

Tickets to the dinner are available and can be purchased here.
