New venue for prestigious PetQuip Awards

 

Trade association PetQuip has announced that its prestigious pet industry awards will take place at a new venue later this year – the National Conference Centre, Birmingham.

 

The PetQuip Awards presentation will take place on Monday 29 September 2025 at the conference centre, close to the NEC Birmingham alongside PATS, the Pet & Aquatics Trade Show.

 

The awards evening is a chance for networking, celebrating and congratulating success for everyone in the sector.

 

The awards reflect a buoyant and lively sector, recognising and rewarding the energy, achievement and innovation of the pet trade. Short-listed and winning entries receive a raft of high-profile publicity within the UK and internationally, before, during and after the awards event itself, which attracted a record number of attendees in 2024 and is set to grow even further at its new venue in Birmingham.   

 

The 16 awards include categories for product, marketing, retailers, suppliers, sustainability and individual achievement.

 

The awards and this year’s sponsors will be formally announced in mid-April. 

 

PetQuip already hasa great line-up of sponsors in place. If you would like more details on how to join them to highlight your company’s products or services to the UK pet product industry as an awards sponsor, contact susan@petquip.com
