The UK’s Pet Quip trade association is to launch several new pet industry awards aimed at bringing together suppliers and retailers in the UK and internationally. The awards will be announced at a special awards and party night being held alongside the PATS exhibition in Harrogate on 15 September. The award categories will be: UK Pet Retailer of the Year, International Pet Retailer of the Year, Groomer of the Year, Supplier of the Year, Wholesaler of the Year, Pet Product Innovation of the Year and Pet Product Exporter of the Year. The entries will be judged by an independent panel of judges during August, says Pet Quip.
