T


he response to the Footwear Industry Awards 2016 has been amazing; this year


the team has seen a record number of nominations and entries received, and to date, the number of votes has surpassed all previous years. “The industry is really engaging with the awards and it is fantastic to see that we are reaching new audiences through social media and in the printed magazine. Even now, the awards are continuing its momentum as we have started to receive enquiries into NEXT year’s event” commented editor, Cheryl Taylor.

We are also excited to announce that alongside


Greg Burns hosting the awards, will be a live band to conclude the evening.


“Each year the awards bring something new to


the industry, which is why we are excited to announce live band at this year’s awards, who are preparing to get us moving and dance into the early hours to some real classics. After such a fantastic response from the industry this year, we wanted the night to be extra special, as we celebrate the Footwear Industry Awards turning five!” commented journal and events manager, Sue Wiseman.
