A new industry awards event organised by the PetQuip trade association has attracted an impressive number of entries.
The awards, sponsored by Westland, Petface and Group55, are aimed at bringing together suppliers and retailers in the UK and internationally, and will be announced at a special party night being held alongside the PATS exhibition in Harrogate in September 2013.
The categories of the awards will be:
- UK Pet Retailer of the Year
- International Pet Retailer of the Year
- Groomer of the Year
- Supplier of the Year
- Wholesaler of the Year
- Pet Product Innovation of the Year
- Pet Product Exporter of the Year
The entries will be judged by an independent panel of judges during August, and the winners will be announced on September 15 at the awards and party night in the Majestic Hotel, Harrogate. Tickets will include dinner, wine, and a short professional awards ceremony followed by dancing to a live band. Email pat@petquip.com for a ticket booking form.
Commenting on the awards, Pat Flynn said: “Awards are a marvellous way of raising the awareness of a product or service and creating creditability for their future success. The pet sector is a vibrant industry with many successful operators, so recognition of these in the awards ceremony promises to be one of the highlights of the year for anyone involved”. Gordon Thomas, of Impact Exhibitions, the organisers of PATS, said: "It's great that PetQuip has decided to stage these new awards alongside our Harrogate exhibition. PATS Harrogate promises to be a brilliant show for the industry, a fact that can only help to enhance these awards." Further information on these prestigious awards, details of how to enter and the booking form to secure tickets for the awards and party night are available from Pat Flynn on telephone 07778 313623 or email pat@petquip.com
