The winners of this year’s Excellence in Housewares Awards have been crowned in a glittering ceremony, with hundreds of industry executives heading to the Royal Lancaster Hotel, London for an evening of celebration.
Following a champagne reception, and before comedian Sara Barron took charge as host, a bumper raffle helped to raise funds for charities The Rainy Day Trust and The Light Fund, with prizes including £300 to spend at John Lewis & Partners thanks to BHETA, £250 of Ticketmaster vouchers courtesy of Exclusively Housewares, plus an overnight stay for two at the Royal Lancaster with breakfast.
The evening reached an emotional conclusion when Jo Howard, the long-standing editor of Progressive Housewares, was honoured with the Outstanding Achievement accolade.
