Latest news from PetQuip...

 

The PetQuip trade association has revealed this year’s list of awards finalists. The winners will be announced at the PetQuip Awards dinner on 30 September at Telford International Centre.

 

The 15 awards include categories for products, marketing, retailers, suppliers, sustainability and individual achievement. New categories for this year include rising star, employee of the year and best trade marketing campaign.

 

“The pet trade naturally attracts innovation and creativity, reflected in the exceptional standard of entries to the awards this year. Our panel of judges will have a tough task to select the winners", said Susan Fairley, Trade Federation Manager for PetQuip. 

 

“We are particularly delighted with the response to our new categories,  which highlight individuals: rising star and employee of the year. Alongside Lifetime Achievement, these awards recognise the exceptional talent of some very special people and their contribution to this incredible industry.”

 

The entries have been shortlisted to finalists, which will be judged by an independent panel of retailers, consultants and marketing specialists in late August. 

 

The winners will be announced during the PetQuip industry awards dinner on 30 September, the second day of PATS.

 

The evening will begin with a drinks reception, followed by a table service dinner and entertainment.

 

“The awards dinner is always a great evening of networking between manufacturers, suppliers and retailers. While winning an award is a massive accolade, we hope that everyone who has been recognised as a finalist or commended will enjoy their success and celebrate this amazing sector,” added Amanda Sizer Barrett, Director General, PetQuip.

 

Tickets for the dinner can be booked through the PetQuip website or by calling 01959 565995.

 

The PetQuip Awards’ headline sponsor is Leopard Co and the awards are sponsored by CIPS, Group55, Law Print and Packaging, SUPERZOO, Pedigree Wholesale, Petface, Zoomark, Interzoo, Noble Futures, James & Steel, PBW and PATS.
