The UK’s Greatest Gift Retailers Are Recognised At A Glittering Awards Ceremony

Hundreds of guests – to include the cream of gift retail, leading gift suppliers, trade show organisers and gift industry reps and agents – made a beeline for the glittering Grosvenor House Hotel on London’s Park Lane this afternoon (May 15) to see the winners crowned at The Greats Awards 2019, organised by leading giftware trade magazine Progressive Gifts & Home. 

Taking A Walk On The Wild Side as its theme, it was certainly a fabulous occasion, with everyone enjoying a magnificent lunch, created by the chefs at the Grosvenor House, along with stand-up comedy from comedian and Greats compere Henry Paker.

“Despite the challenges that retail throws at independents and multiples year after year, the best continue to rise to the challenge and it is these ‘greatest of the great’ gift retailers that we were delighted to recognise and reward this afternoon,” stated Sue Marks, editor of Progressive Gifts & Home and GiftsandHome.net.
