The outstanding line-up of product finalists for the Excellence in Housewares Awards 2021 has been revealed today, live during the first day of Exclusively Housewares. Continuing the category finalist expansion from 2020, there are eight finalists for each of the product categories, reflecting the heightened levels of product entered.
The winners will be revealed on the evening of Wednesday 6 October 2021, fully endorsed by trade associations Bheta and Bira, supported by trade shows including Ambiente, Exclusively and The Inspired Home Show in Chicago, and backed by leading suppliers including Burton McCall, Expose Travel, Gastroback, Joseph Joseph, KitchenCraft, Le Creuset, Meyer Group, OXO UK, RKW Wholesale, Salter, Sherwood Events/Ambiente, Tefal, Tramontina, Ultimate Products.
The product finalists were decided after a stellar panel of retail buyers cast their votes. Participating retailers included John Lewis, Lakeland, Robert Dyas, ProCook, Borough Kitchen, Harts of Stur, Aldiss, Trevor Mottram, Dinghams, and a host of independent specialists from across the country.
Rob Willis, director of Max Publishing which owns and organises The Excellence In Housewares Awards said: “Wow, just when you think that even the prolific housewares product sector could be slowed by retail interruption and stock import delays, we see that nothing will keep suppliers from bringing to market the most incredible, innovative and in-demand products – it’s genuinely astonishing!
“We can’t wait to reveal the winners in October and I am pleased to report that tickets and tables are already in hot demand, so do get your attendance organised and remember that our Covid-safe policy is in force and our full refund guarantee remains in place!”
