CELEBRATING EXCELLENCE: Introducing the DIY Week Awards 2020
The key networking event for the DIY, home improvement and garden markets, the annual DIY Week Awards will take place at the Tower Hotel, London on Friday 1 May 2020.
Following the success of the DIY Week Awards 2019, this year the DIY Week Awards categories have been expanded to span the breadth of the industry, celebrating both supplier and retailer achievements. The awards event, organised by
DIY Week magazine’s publisher, Datateam Business Media, is one of the leading occasions of the industry calendar, where guests come together to celebrate the innovative products and forward- thinking retailers across the home improvement and garden sectors.

luncheon is not just about the prestigious accolades; it is also a prime opportunity to socialise and network with friends and colleagues, as well as existing and potential new clients. The event is attended by key
