This year’s BPMA Product Awards have continued to celebrate the promotional merchandise industry. The exceptional innovation, expertise, and quality available in the market has been demonstrated across this year’s entries. With entry requirements increased to disclose sustainable product credentials, our industry judges were able to assess the product capabilities and the impact on the planet.

 

Inviting qualifying supplier entrants from across the industry, all suppliers were asked to answer key questions around price, product and provide sustainable evidence to support and complement their entries. Judging took place across three rounds, involving over 60 senior industry distributors and leaders. This included guest judges from PPAI, APPA, PPPC, Sourcing City and Sourcing Machine plus catalogue heads.

 

The final panel who met to agree the winners in each category consisted of the Distributor members of the Board plus Catalogue Group heads, overseen by Awards Chair, Brian Hayward. The hard-fought competition found were judges thoroughly impressed by the extensive variety and high calibre of entries.

 

Results announced on Friday 1st December 2023.

 

Results were announced live on 1st December at the BPMA Industry Networking Lunch & BPMA Product Awards Presentation at St Pancras Renaissance Hotel with trophies handed in person to winners. The coveted Product Award Grand Prix will be revealed at the BPMA Annual Awards Dinner in January 2024.
