The 2010 Business Manager Awards made a glittering return on 13th April at the E.ON Lounge, the Ricoh Arena, Coventry. Around 250 guests attended the elegant gala award dinner and dance, which was hosted by iconic fashion designer Jeff Banks, and a wonderful time was had by all.
The awards were established in 2009 to recognise the buyer and supplier partnerships whose uniforms raise the bar when it comes to performance, design and style.
There were 24 winners across the categories of PPE, Workwear, Corporatewear and - new for this year - Innovation. Special awards were also given out to those who had made an outstanding contribution to the industry.
Congratulations to everyone who received an award and thank you to our sponsors for the evening: INVISTA’s CORDURA Brand, Dickies, Lion Apparel and JAL Group.
The Business Manager Awards will now take place on a biannual basis, with the next scheduled for April 2012 at Workwear and Corporate Clothing Show. We look forward to seeing you there!
