PetQuip reveals finalists for prestigious Industry Awards 2021
 

The PetQuip association has announced an impressive list of finalists for this year’s PetQuip Industry Awards. 

 

Such is the popularity of the PetQuip awards that a record number of entries were received, and these have now been whittled down to a list of 106 finalists.

 

Two new categories – ‘Innovations in Lockdown’ and ‘Community Projects During a Crisis’ – have been introduced this year to reflect on how well pet companies and individuals have excelled in the face of adversity.

 

Also this year the Theresa Swann Trophy for Exporter of the Year, sponsored by Group 55, will be presented for the first time in memory of PetQuip’s former Head of Events & Administration, who sadly passed away in December 2019.

 

Judging will be carried out by an independent judging panel, including industry experts and pet retailers, in early September.

 

The award winners will be announced at a special ceremony and drinks party on Sunday, 26th September 2021, immediately after the first day of PATS Telford.

 

“In these unusual times we felt it best to present the awards at a safe networking event in a large and airy environment,” confirmed Pat Flynn, Trade Association Manager of PetQuip. “We are working closely with the PATS organising team to deliver a safe, enjoyable, professionally staged event, to celebrate the finalists’ and winners’ successes with industry colleagues, retail guests and our sponsors.”
