The Excellence in Housewares Awards are owned and organised by Progressive Housewares magazine and HousewaresNews.net – from the Max Publishing Group in London.
2020 marks 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.
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 March 2021. Progressive Housewares is the exclusive UK gia sponsor. The global gia sponsor and organiser is the International Home + Housewares Show.
This year, in light of the logistical and safety concerns brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic, we have quickly and passionately invested in this new awards entry portal, offering suppliers and retailers an opportunity to continue with our industry’s rewarding awards program, recognising excellence in the sector. The ‘big night’ in October will be a real celebration of business and friendship – make sure that date is in your diary for what we hope and are planning to be a real industry reunion.
