The GIMA Awards are proving to be the most hotly contested competition of the year with the number of entries, totalling around 200, beating all recent records.

Although entry to the awards is now closed, there’s still time to book a place at the Awards Gala Dinner which is once again taking place at the Celtic Manor Resort on Thursday 16^th July.

With Rufus Hound recently announced as the host, and everyone who is anyone in the gardening industry in attendance, it promises to be a great night.  But don’t leave it too late as bookings will close on Friday 10^th July.

Vicky Nuttall, GIMA Director, said:  "Bookings are going extremely well, which I hope is a reflection of the positive trading conditions that our industry is currently experiencing.  

"The GIMA Awards are always hotly contested and this year, the number of entries also reflects a buoyant season."
