In a glittering ceremony last week, housewares brands MY VQ and Portmeirion Group were awarded coveted Brand & Lifestyle Licensing Awards.
Hosted by Cally Beaton, the brand licensing community’s annual get-together, was attended by some 400 retailers, licensees and brand owners who shared in the joy as the worthy winners made their way to the stage to collect their trophies.
Before the awards, revered fashion designer Jeff Banks – who described himself as a ‘humble tailor’ – captivated the audience with the story of how he turned his brand into a household name.
Portmeirion Group took home the Best Brand Licensed Homewares, Kitchen & Tabletop Product or Range (sponsored by Natural History Museum) for its
Morris & Co Tableware range from Spode.
Meanwhile the Laura Ashley China Rose Appliances from MY VQ won Best Brand Licensed Electrical &/or DIY Products or Range (sponsored by Golden Goose).
