The Furniture Awards 2025 now open for entries

The Furniture Awards, the annual celebration of the January Furniture Show’s best and brightest exhibitors, is now open for entries ahead of the 2025 event, taking place at the NEC Birmingham from 19th-22nd January.

Established in 2015 by principal media partner Furniture News in partnership with the January Furniture Show, The Furniture Awards are an integral part of the exhibition. Judged by a panel of industry professionals from retail, manufacture and beyond, and chaired by Furniture News’ editor-in-chief Paul Farley, the programme is a valuable opportunity for leading businesses to stand out from the crowd.

Entrants are asked to explain why their business excels in one of five categories: Sustainability; Best of British; Design Innovation; Global Player; and Superior Service (learn more about the criteria here).

This year’s judging panel comprises: Malcolm Walker (Director, FIRST MW); Becca Maloy (Head of Buying, 100% Comfort); Darryl Simpson (MD, W J Aldiss); Richard Naylor (Founder and Managing Partner, Hawksfield Consulting); and Emma Leeke (MD, Leekes).

The online entry form and guidelines can be accessed here until Wednesday 4th December 2024. The entries will then be assessed online, with the finalists revealed in January, and the winners announced at the JFS Show Party (5.30pm, Sunday 19th January, Hall 2). Watch a short video of 2024’s presentation here.

“The Furniture Awards are a valuable opportunity for exhibitors to celebrate their achievements with the industry,” says Paul. “Don’t miss your chance to enter!”
