All pet retailers purchasing two or more tickets to the PetQuip Industry Awards in Harrogate were put forward for the prize drawer to win a night's stay at the Majestic Hotel.

The evening promises to be one of fun and relaxation spiced up with a little suspense as the winners of the PetQuip Industry Awards are revealed.

Pat Flynn, trade association manager for PetQuip, said: "We have attracted an impressive number of entries for this our first event and we are looking forward to celebrating with all the winning retailers and product manufacturers.  

"Whilst there is a business element to the evening when the awards are presented, the ceremony will be short and professional so that everyone can enjoy the networking and dancing to a live band."

Meanwhile, 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.

"The fact that the awards  have attracted an impressive line-up of finalists in their first year shows that the pet industry welcomes these new awards."

The awards ceremony will take place in the Carriage Suite, The Majestic Hotel, Harrogate, at 7.30pm.

Tickets to the evening include a pre-dinner drinks reception, a three course meal with wine, the awards ceremony and live entertainment from The New Amen Corner band, and cost £56 plus VAT (£46 plus VAT for PetQuip members).
