DIY WEEK AWARDS 2018 2020 Supplier Shortlist Revealed
Judging for this year’s supplier categories in the DIY Week Awards has now taken place and the second part of the shortlist of products in line for an accolade can now be revealed
O
ver 30 products have been named as finalists across 12 categories, some of which you will find detailed opposite. Judges convened last month at the Dulux Decorating Academy at AkzoNobel’s UK head office in Slough to discuss the entries and test out the products.
It was a fun day and everyone managed to get hands-on with
the huge array of items put forward this year. There were some tough decisions to be made across a host of great entries and our stellar judging panel stood firm in their brief, judging products in each category using criteria of innovation, quality, function and price.
Our judging panel this year comprised: Paul Andrews, DIY Product Manager, Home Hardware Southwest Paul Garland, Associate Buyer – DIY & garden, QVC UK Vicky Nuttall, Director, Garden Industry Manufacturers Association Mike Smith, UK Sales Manager, EFG Housewares Keeley Vernon, Sector Manager – DIY & home improvement, BHETA
Garden Tool of the Year
Batavia NEXXSAW Mini Chainsaw
The whole day went smoothly, thanks very much to our hosts and, after much deliberation, the panel finally settled on the shortlist you see here. Editor of DIY Week, Neil Mead, said: “The judges were very impressed with the good number, high standard and variety of product entries in the supplier category this year. Once again the DIY sector has proved just how innovative it is, with manufacturers constantly developing new products and solutions for making decorating, renovation and maintenance tasks easier around the home and garden. Thank you to Alan Avery and the team at AkzoNobel for letting us hold the event at the Dulux Academy and for their help and hospitality on the day.”
The overall winners in each category will be announced at the 2020 DIY
Week Awards luncheon on Friday, May 1 at the Tower Hotel in London, along with a Judges’ Choice accolade to be awarded to the product that our judges felt stood head and shoulders above the rest.
