“A firm favourite in the gift calendar is the Greats Awards and at Joe Davies we are delighted to once again be a sponsor for this year’s awards,” says managing director Paul Hooker.

“Our industry, and all the great independent retailers that make it thrive, have worked tirelessly, facing challenge after challenge over the last few years.  The awards recognise the extraordinary innovation, hard work and commitment of the people that make the independent gift trade such a bright and vibrant place to work. We can’t wait to raise a glass to all the finalists!”

For the second consecutive year, and uniting the gift industry, The Greats Awards have joined forces with The Giftware Association’s Gift of the Year (GOTY) awards, with all winners – both The Greats and the GOTY – being revealed at a fabulous black tie awards event, to be held at the glittering Royal Lancaster Hotel in London on Thursday 11 May.
