The host for this year's EADT Business Awards ceremony will be comedian and 'chaser' on ITV's The Chase, Paul Sinha, who will be entertaining the audience before announcing this year's winners!
Sinha began doing stand-up as a break from his studies as a junior doctor, and went on to become both a practising GP and an Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee.

He combined his experiences on the frontlines of the NHS with his witty observations on life, developing a friendly story-telling comedy style that entertains audiences across the country.
Today, Sinha can often be heard on Radio 4 and 5 Live speaking on current affairs and sport on programmes including The News Quiz, Just A Minute, The Now Show, Fighting Talk and Yes It's The Ashes.
Sinha also wrote and hosted his own documentary for Radio 4, The Sinha Test, which explores the relationship between sport and nationality.
He also hosted the Olympics-themed The Sinha Games and History Revision, and has appeared on QI, Would I Lie to You? and ITV4's Football Genius.
A passionate quizzer, Sinha has appeared on several quiz shows, mostly notably on The Chase where he is known as 'The Sinnerman'.
