PATS Sandown 2018 New Product Awards revealed

 

The winners of the PATS Sandown 2018 New Product Awards, sponsored by pbwnews, were chosen by a team of nine expert pet retail judges, who arrived at the show before 9.30am on Tuesday, March 20, in order to make their choices from an impressive number of more than 180 new products entered.

 

Their decisions took 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 showed some great innovation.

 

The Awards were presented to the winners at 1pm on Tuesday by Karen Pickwick, director of pbwnews, and show organizer Gordon Thomas.
