In just four weeks, the garden retail sector’s finest will gather for the much-anticipated GIMA Awards, where this year’s winners will be unveiled. With tickets almost sold out, time is running out for those yet to secure their place at this prestigious event.

Dressed in their black-tie best and surrounded by friends and industry colleagues, over 400 attendees will come together for an evening of glittering celebrations, networking, and toasting the successes of another gardening season.

Returning once again to the Celtic Manor Resort in Newport, South Wales, the night will see 17 awards presented across multiple categories, recognising product excellence and marketing best practice. In addition to these accolades, the prestigious HTA-sponsored Sustainability Award, the Gardenex Export Achievement Award, the GCA Supplier of the Year, and the coveted GIMA Sword of Excellence will also be awarded.

Hosting the evening’s festivities will be the brilliant Tom Allen, renowned comedian, presenter, and writer. With his sharp wit and star presence, Tom is sure to bring laughter, charm, and professionalism, making it a night to remember.

Of course, the evening wouldn’t be possible without the support of our generous sponsors. This year, we’re grateful for the backing of headline sponsor Glee, alongside Gardenex, the GCA, LOFA, eBay, HTA, Blue Diamond Garden Centres, Smart Garden Products, Primeur, Durston Garden Products, Hozelock, Flower Gro, Capi Europe, Barrus, Decco, RocketGro, MorePeople, CM Ventures, Hornby George PR, and media partners Gardenforum, Garden Trade News, Horticulture Week, Garden Centre Retail, and Garden Radio.

GIMA Director, Vicky Nuttall, commented: “Excitement is building as we approach this year’s awards. From a fantastic host to a winner’s line-up that’s set to impress, there’s so much to celebrate on the evening of the 7th November. As always, a huge thank you to everyone attending and to our sponsors for their generosity. We can’t wait to see you all very soon!”
