PATS Sandown 2014 New Product Awards revealed

PATS Sandown 2014 - Tuesday am -21.jpgThe winners of the PATS Sandown 2014 New Product Awards have been announced by Show Director Gordon Thomas.

A team of expert pet retail judges, who arrived at the show before 8am on Tuesday have selected the winners of the PATS Sandown 2014 New Product Awards from more than 240 new products entered – a PATS Sandown record.

Their decisions were made taking into account a number of guideline criteria such as product innovation, design, quality, packaging and value for money.

The judges agreed that the New Product Showcase had produced a high calibre of entries with a tremendous amount of innovation. They were pleased to see such a wide range of products, and felt the majority of items on display were reasonably priced in today’s challenging economic times.
