The decision-making | 1 MARCH 2022

For entries in the Manufacturer/Supplier categories, they will first be reviewed by an independent panel of judges who will determine a shortlist in each category. These shortlists will then be put to an online industry vote, where retailers will be invited to show their support for the brands and products they believe in.

On the Retailer front, the power will be solely in the hands of a specially selected panel of judges who will determine both a shortlist and the winners in each category.

The industry’s leading retailers and manufacturers/suppliers will be crowned champions during the IER Awards ceremony on Friday 10th June 2022, held at The Park Plaza London Riverbank. More information on the 2022 ceremony will be shared shortly.
