The BIFM Awards 2016 (the sixteenth in the annual event) were given out at the Grosvenor House Hotel, London on 10 October 2016.

'Pointless Alexander Armstrong' (who is coincidentally also the host of the BBC's Pointless quiz show) was there to show how he got his nick-name as he trotted out the same gags as he'd used at the plumber's merchants awards 2015. In fairness the 1,200 guests at the black tie do didn't complain as Armstrong handed out the gongs - fourteen in all along with a selection of highly commendeds:
