The outstanding line-up of product finalists for the Excellence in Housewares Awards 2022 has been revealed today (Wednesday 27 July). There are eight finalists in each of the product categories, reflecting the heightened levels of product entries.
The winners will be revealed at a lavish event on the evening of Wednesday 5 October 2022 at the Royal Lancaster London, fully supported by trade associations Bheta and Bira, plus by trade shows including Ambiente, Exclusively and The Inspired Home Show in Chicago, and backed by leading suppliers across the housewares sector.
The product finalists were arrived at as a result of each and every entry going under the scrutiny of a stellar judging panel, made up entirely of respected retail buyers who each cast their votes.
The judging panel included buyers from John Lewis, Lakeland, Robert Dyas, Borough Kitchen, Fenwick, Harrods, Harts of Stur, Morley Stores, Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Next, and a host of independent specialists from across the country.
Jo Howard, editor of Progressive Housewares Magazine and HousewaresNews.net said: “This year’s judging process was a real delight; the product entered showed real innovation, consumer trend impacts as well as global considerations including very clear moves towards sustainable product too.
“We can’t wait to reveal the winners at the industry’s ‘big night out’ in October; ticket and table bookings are already coming by the day – I hope to see each and every one of you there!”
