The Excellence in Housewares Awards are owned and organised by Progressive Housewares magazine and HousewaresNews.net – from the Max Media Group in London.

Widely regarded and recognised as the ‘Oscars’ for the housewares sector, the awards shine the spotlight on both retailers for their retailing excellence as well as suppliers for their product innovation and service acumen.

These include: Retailer Awards for retailers of housewares products, Product Awards for new ranges or new individual products, and Special Awards for service, marketing, innovation, iconic products and honorary achievement.  

The Excellence in Housewares Awards are also linked with gia… the Global Innovation Awards programme – which honours housewares retailers from around 30 countries around the world.
