The Bosworth Hall Hotel – Warwickshire, UK

The awards programme achieved its aim of bringing together the independent electrical industry in a celebration of the companies, innovations and people that are achieving the highest professional standards and helping to drive this dynamic industry forward.

The awards recognised excellence in three major categories: Consumer Electronics, Major Appliances and Small Appliances, and in each category there were awards for Best Consumer Advertising, Most Impactful Product and Best Training. Outstanding accomplishments were also awarded in the areas of Accessories, Floorcare and Personal Care Products and special awards were also presented for Lifetime Achievement, Customer Service, Best Independents, Special Representation and Ultimate Top Supplier.

Datateam Publishing and BDC Independents would like to convey their thanks to everyone involved in the 2008 awards ceremony, all of whom helped to create an evening, of fun, networking and true celebration. Feedback to date has been truly exceptional and we now hope that this year’s attendees will ‘spread the word’ about the awards, helping to ensure that the 2009 event will be an even greater success!

We’d also like to thank all of those who attended the event, and who donated generously towards the IMA’s chosen charity - EEIBA. Just under £4,000 was raised through the Grand Charity Raffle and Auction, so thank you again to all the contributors of prizes.
