The afternoon – which included a drinks


reception and formal lunch – was hosted by comedian and author, Dominic Holland. Editor of ERT magazine, Jack Cheeseman, said:


“Huge congratulations to all of this year’s winners! And thank you to everyone that took the time to enter the ERT Awards during this very busy year. “During these quite challenging times, it’s never been


more important for retailers to emphasise the value and the service they can offer and I think for many it’s been working well, as sales have continued to be strong. “But manufacturers and retailers also must work closely together to provide genuinely useful products, plus convenience at every step of the shopper’s journey to ensure they return to spend again in the future. “And that is what the ERT Awards is all about, celebrating some of


the most forward-thinking


businesses in our sector and recognising the best consumer electronics and home appliance products out there too.


“A huge thank you to our partner sponsors and congratulations once again to all of this year’s finalists, highly commended and of course the winners!”
