To mark a decade of celebrating excellence, this year’s PetQuip Awards will be presented to winners at an Oscar-style evening after the first day of PATS Telford on Sunday, 25h September.
The awards have become one of the most successful events to have been introduced into the pet trade sector and everyone is looking forward to celebrating again with colleagues and customers at this excellent networking occasion.
Two new categories – ‘Celebrating Green and Organic’ and the ‘Sustainability Award’ – have been introduced this year to reflect the growing trend towards ‘eco’ initiatives.

“So many people in the industry have been asking since December last year when they can enter this year’s awards,” said Pat Flynn, award organiser and PetQuip’s Trade Association Manager.
“Winning an accolade for your achievements bolsters morale and gives any business excellent additional opportunities to promote their new product developments and successes.”
Group55 will again be sponsoring theTheresa Swann Trophy for Exporter of the Year Award. Canagan has also agreed to be a sponsor of the PetQuip Awards this year, alongside James & Steel, PATS Telford, Global Pet Expo and APPA.
The PetQuip Awards will take place in a new ‘Oscar-style’ setting with even more opportunities for the whole trade to celebrate, network with colleagues and customers and to relax after the first day of the PATS exhibition.
