The Pet Industry Federation has revealed the finalists for this year’s record-breaking Pet Industry Awards.
The 2020 winners will be announced at an awards dinner – although, given the situation with the coronavirus outbreak, the organiser are ‘closely monitoring the situation” and hope to be able to update the trade shortly.
The 2020 awards were scheduled for the first night of new trade show Petindex, planned to take place in Milton Keynes on April 26-27.
A record number of entries were received this year, particularly in pet service sectors, reflecting the growth of these types of businesses in recent years; independent retail, product innovation and the sustainability award.
The judges will now focus on whittling these finalists down to winners.
This year’s finalists are:
