The 2023 Pet Industry Federation (PIF) Awards are now open for entries. These prestigious awards, sponsored by Jollyes, celebrate excellence and innovation across the pet industry.

This year’s PIF Awards feature 22 categories, including four new additions – Pet Behaviourist of the Year, Garden Centre Pet Department of the Year, Pet Store Manager of the Year, and Marketing Campaign of the Year.

The competition is free to enter and open to all pet businesses, whether PIF members or not. It’s a fantastic opportunity to gain recognition and exposure within the industry.

Entries will remain open until Friday, August 18th. The judges expect a high standard this year, so businesses are encouraged to showcase their top products, services, and achievements.

Winners will be announced at a ceremony on Thursday, November 9th, at the Chesford Grange Hotel near Kenilworth.

Nigel Baker, CEO of the Pet Industry Federation, commented:

“We are delighted to be hosting the PIF Awards again this year. Following the sell-out Awards in 2022, we have moved to a bigger venue at Chesford Grange to enable all those who want to attend to do so. The PIF Awards, sponsored by Jollyes and in association with Collar App, Cliverton, Lopay and Su-Bridge Pet Supplies provide a fantastic opportunity to recognise and reward the outstanding performances in the pet industry over the last twelve months.”
