s we head towards the end of the year, we’ve dedicated this issue to covering all the great things going on in the industry at the moment.


At the beginning of the issue, you’ll find an interview with Michelle Ovens CBE, director of Small Business Saturday UK, highlighting everything you need to know about the return of the campaign. Taking place on December 2nd, Small Business Saturday seeks to support small businesses, celebrate their achievements and encourage consumers to shop local. With the rising cost of living and the current economic pressure on the retail sector, supporting small businesses is crucial and I’d urge everyone to get involved in the campaign. Continuing the theme of celebrating the sector, we’re


proud to announce the return of the Housewares Awards! On the 5th July 2024, we’re inviting you to the Connaught Rooms in London for an afternoon of unmissable networking opportunities and the chance to recognise the collective achievements of the industry. As well as a new venue, this year we have introduced a new selection of categories to honour the very best retailers, suppliers and industry members. You can enter now via the Housewares

Awards website - https://housewaresawards.com/ Later in this issue, we’ve included new research


from Denby which highlights an estimated 70 million housewares items thrown away each year. To find a solution to this, Denby has launched its Reloved campaign which encourages consumers to find ways to re-use, re- purpose and re-love their housewares products. Offering another sustainable solution, which you can find on page 24, is ReBorn, a newly-launched range of recycled housewares products manufactured in the UK. It’s great to see businesses actively taking steps to reduce waste and it paves the way for the housewares sector to fulfil their sustainable commitments. Elsewhere, you’ll find as always,


our regular news, views and featured products showcasing the latest from market-leading housewares brands from across the sector.


I hope you enjoy the issue!
