The PetQuip trade association has announced an impressive list of finalists for this year’s PetQuip Industry Awards.
Latest news from PetQuip.
Such is the popularity of the PetQuip awards that a record number of entries were received, and following preliminary judging, these have now been whittled down to a list of finalists.
Two new categories – ‘Celebrating Green and Organic’ and the ‘Sustainability Award’ – have been introduced this year to reflect the growing trend towards ‘eco’ initiatives.
The Theresa Swann Trophy for Exporter of the Year, sponsored by Group 55, will once again be presented in memory of PetQuip’s former Head of Events & Administration who is fondly remembered by many.
Judging will be carried out by an independent judging panel, including industry experts and pet retailers, during August.
The award winners will be announced at an Oscar-style ceremony on Sunday, 25th September 2022, immediately after the first day of PATS Telford with a drinks reception starting at 7.30pm. “It is always a fun evening of networking, entertainment, food and drink, and gives retailers and exhibitors an opportunity to get together informally. We’ve made a few tweaks to the format of this year’s event, so it promises to be a really special evening,” said Emma Brazier from PetQuip’s events team. Tickets can now be booked by visiting www.petquip.com/awards and downloading the form or by calling 01959 565995.
Pat Flynn, Trade Association Manager of PetQuip, added: “We have received an impressive number of entries for 2022 and the quality of the finalists is so high the judges will have a difficult job in choosing the winners.”
New for this year, the organisers of Zoomark International have donated a raffle prize of a trip to Bologna in 2023, including flights and full board hospitality in a superior hotel for two nights, enabling the lucky winner to visit the show.
