Finalists for the PetQuip Awards 2016 revealed


PetQuip has revealed the finalists for its 2016 Awards with the winners being announced at a special dinner taking place during PATS Telford next month.

The presentations will take place at the PetQuip Awards Dinner & Party on September 25, the first night of PATS Telford.

The event is set to be even bigger and better than last year with the incorporation of a casino into the main dining room which has been enlarged to include the drinks reception, a bar and a networking area.

Tickets are on sale now so if you fancy a fun but inexpensive evening with good food and wine, don’t forget to book your places. It was a sell-out event last year and PetQuip expect even more of the industry, both manufacturers and retailers, to take part this year.

Guests who have attended previous PetQuip Awards will confirm that it is an excellent networking opportunity with lots of shared laughter. Email pat@petquip.com for a booking form or visit www.petquip.com/awards
