The PetQuip association has announced an impressive list of finalists for this year’s Industry Awards.

Such is the popularity of the awards that several hundred entries have been received, and these have now been whittled down to a list of 45 finalists.

PetQuip has devised an innovative new way to recognise outstanding achievement within the trade, following the cancellation of PATS, the UK’s number one pet industry exhibition, due to take place at Telford this September.

To ensure maximum exposure for the finalists and the winning companies and their products, PetQuip and the awards headline sponsors – APPA/Global Pet Expo, pbwnews, Natures Menu and PATS – will be supporting a wide-ranging PR campaign for the finalists and award winners throughout the UK and international trade media.

The Highly Commended, Silver and the Gold award winners will be announced in September in a special online publication. 

“We will profile all the finalists and the ultimate winners in this publication, which will then be followed by a Winners’ Special Edition,” says Pat Flynn, PetQuip's Trade Association Manager. “There will also be extra promotion for the successful companies on both the PetQuip and PATS websites.”

“We’re proud to announce our finalists for 2020 and we are looking forward to celebrating the industry’s successes in this exceptional year and to providing widespread additional promotion for the finalists, winners and our sponsors.”

Judging will be carried out by an independent judging panel, including industry experts and pet retailers, on August 25.

Lifetime Achievement

To be revealed in September 2020 when all the winners are announced.

“We are sad not to be able to meet all our awards finalists and winners in person as usual this year at PATS during our awards event and party. But we have arranged to celebrate the achievements of our entrants in an innovative way which will benefit every participant – a positive benefit in a year when our industry has been facing unprecedented challenges,” said PetQuip Director General Amanda Sizer Barrett.
