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

2020 marked the 21st Excellence in Housewares Awards, which have been embraced by the industry 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. 

Sadly, the COVID-19 Pandemic meant that this took place as an online event (which you can watch again here), yet spirits were not dampened as over 500 industry suppliers and retailers tuned-in to celebrate the year’s winners.

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. Excellence in Housewares Awards retail winner, Jarrold of Norwich is the current gia UK winner and will be honoured at the next gia gala event in Chicago in August 2021. Progressive Housewares is the exclusive UK gia sponsor. The global gia sponsor and organiser is the International Home + Housewares Show. 

The Excellence In Housewares Awards 2021 will return as a live event on Wednesday 6 October 2021. 

Like many of you, we feel confident that we will be in a much different place by then, though do rest assured that all ticket and table bookings remain fully refundable/deferrable should the situation change – so you can plan and book with confidence.

We intend for the evening to be a magical reunion of industry, a full house, a big bash! Please do get this in your diary now and get your places booked. Let’s have a night to remember!

For any questions about attendance or sponsoring the 2021 event, please do get in touch, we would love to hear from you.
