s every reader would agree, while 2017 was undoubtedly a challenging year for the housewares industry, there were
many positive highlights. And on February 5, we will be recognising many of them, at The Housewares Innovation Awards 2018. Organised by Housewares Magazine and its digital
partner
www.HousewaresLive.net in partnership with the Spring Fair, the Awards will reward the best of the UK housewares industry, with accolades for the most outstanding products, companies and individuals. The winners of 24 award categories will be
revealed during a glittering evening ceremony at The National Motorcycle Museum in Birmingham, hosted by the film director, actor and presenter Ryan Philpott.
He will be joined on stage by School of Wok
founder, author and TV chef Jeremy Pang and wine expert Joe Fattorini, star of Channel 5’s ‘The Wine Show’, who will co-present the proceedings. And there will also be a special guest appearance
from celebrity chef Ken Hom OBE - widely regarded as one of the world’s leading experts on Asian cooking. So why not join us and raise a glass to innovation?
