All the winners from the Glee 2021 New Product Showcase
Print23 September 2021
Nineteen new garden and pet product innovations were lauded at the Glee 2021 New Product Showcase last week.
The winners were announced at a special award presentation organised and run by Garden Trade News during Glee 2021, which took place 14 to 16 September at NEC Birmingham.
Hundreds of entries were received across the 17 categories, with industry suppliers eager to present the fruits of their intensive new product research and development, carried out over the past 18 months of lockdown.
This year’s New Product Awards also had a new format, with the pitches for each category being made to judges before a live audience on the 14th, and 15th September.
After being carefully judged and selected by an expert panel of judges, who were looking for excellence in quality and design, strong environmental credentials, pricing, and retail potential, along with the all-important innovation factor, the winners were revealed by Glee event director, Matthew Mein and GTN Editor, Trevor Pfeiffer on 15 September.
