Several industry awards were held at the event, including one for the Most Innovative Product, which was won by ‘i name it’ for its personalised calendar.

The Most Innovative Service award was taken by Pace Network for the company’s on-stand oneto- one consultancy service on fulfilment, distribution and global logistics; while the Best Pre-Show Promotion was awarded to Procurement International for its co-ordinated pre-show advertising and e-shot.

The Promotional Marketing Exhibition team also made a one-off award at the show, in memory of Victor Rosewell, a founding father of the promotions industry, who died in December 2006.

The Victor Rosewell Award was presented to Liz Karn, md of Merit Promotional Clothing and a board member of the British Promotional Merchandise Association.

Presenting the award, Ian Allchild, chairman of the Promotional Marketing Exhibition said: “This award is in recognition of Liz’s invaluable contribution to the promotional marketing industry, both as the md of her own successful company and in her honorary capacities as past chairman and president, and now as board member, of the British Promotional Merchandise Association.”

The 2008 event will be held from April 15–17 at Olympia, London. Visit www.promotionalmarketingexhibiton.co.uk for further information.
