With the return of the January Furniture Show next year (23rd-26th January at the NEC, Birmingham), The Furniture Awards are back to celebrate the industry’s champions.
Launched in January 2015 by Furniture News in partnership with the January Furniture Show, The Furniture Awards are an integral part of the exhibition. The 2022 awards will follow a new format, with entrants asked to explain why their business is leading the pack in one of the following categories: Sustainability; Best of British; Value; Design Innovation; and Global Player.
“Do your products or processes make you a natural winner, or is original design at the heart of your business strategy? Do you offer unbeatable value, or feel you represent the best of homegrown or import approaches?
“For 2022’s awards, we’re looking to recognise the industry’s champions across new categories, and make an even bigger deal of their achievements at the event,” says awards co-ordinator, Furniture News’ Paul Farley. “For suppliers putting their best foot forward at the upcoming exhibition, the awards are a great opportunity to stand even taller in the sector – so don’t miss your chance to enter!”
Paul will chair a judging panel consisting of: Malcolm Walker (FIRST MW); Deirdre Mc Gettrick (ufurnish.com); Royce Clark (Grampian Furnishers); Dids Macdonald OBE (ACID); and Mike Murray (Land of Beds and AIS).
January Furniture Show exhibitors can find the entry form and details of each category here, and will need to enter by Friday 3rd December 2021. The entries will be assessed online, with the shortlist and winners announced in January, ahead of the show.
