We are delighted to announce the winners for the 2020 Awards for Product and Service Innovation.

Competition was really tough this year. For those who have not been successful, please don’t be discouraged. It may just be that the life cycle of the product is too early and if that is the case, we will look forward to you submitting the entry again next year.

For those who have been successful this year, congratulations! Please know that competition was particularly tough this time round.

We hope you will join us on the 24 November 2020, at our Annual Members’ Dinner and Awards for Marketing Effectiveness, where we will be presenting the physical awards. If you’d like to book a table, which will include an Exclusive Winners Logo as part of the package, please do so here.
