passion that you hold for all things housewares - and I’m proud to be able to play a role in providing a platform to recognise and reward all of your hard work. “The standard of this year’s entries once again raised the bar and certainly made life difficult for our judges - so even being shortlisted is an achievement in itself! I’d like to take this opportunity to extend a huge thank you to all our judges for dedicating their time and knowledge to help ensure that the very best take home an award.” Our congratulations go to all the winners and highly commended companies. We’d also like to thank our sponsors for their generous support. Without them, we would not be able to commemorate the best that this industry has to offer in such fitting style.
