Three cheers for innovation


Housewares Magazine and its digital partner www.HousewaresLive.net. This year’s Housewares Innovation Awards event


F


was held on February 5 at The National Motorcycle Museum in Birmingham, in partnership with the Spring Fair. The proceedings were hosted by film director, actor


and presenter Ryan Philpott, who announced the results of 25 award categories to an audience of 300- plus guests. Ryan was joined on stage by two co-presenters:


School of Wok founder, author and TV chef Jeremy Pang and wine expert Joe Fattorini, star of Channel 5’s ‘The Wine Show’. There was also a special guest appearance by Ken Hom OBE – widely regarded as one of the world’s leading authorities on Asian cooking. We would like to express huge thanks to our


sponsors for their ongoing support of our prestigious annual occasion. Without them, we would not be able to commemorate the innovation that is the lifeblood of the housewares industry in such fitting style.
