Excellence in Housewares Awards 2021 Winners Announced

Leading housewares retailers and suppliers have gathered in style to find out the winners of The Excellence in Housewares Awards 2021 .

Enthusing that it was “wonderful to be back” in the sumptuous surroundings of The Royal Lancaster London, Jo Howard, editor of Progressive Housewares and HousewaresNews.net (organisers of the EIH Awards) acknowledged in her welcome speech: “There are a great many worthy retailer and product winners tonight and, while there is, of course, only one trophy for each category, we salute all of you that have made it to the finals of The Excellence in Housewares Awards 2021. We’re here to celebrate your achievements, as shining examples of our wonderful industry.”

Guests were entertained by foodie comedian Jayde Adams, who hosted the presentation of each award at what was the 22nd annual EIH ceremony. In addition to the revelation of the award winners after dinner, the fun-packed night kicked off with a champagne reception (sponsored by Tefal).

The post awards party includes the casino (sponsored by Exposé Travel, with a top prize of a trip to Chicago), dance floor and photobox (sponsored by Denby) and industry friends and colleagues are expected to continue partying into the small hours.
