2015 BPMA Award winners announced

The BPMA revealed the winners of the 2015 Awards, showcasing the best work and talent in the promotional merchandise industry, at the Trade Only national Show dinner on the 21st January 2015.

Created in 2008 to recognise excellence in the promotional products industry, the BPMA annual awards provide the BPMA community with the chance to have their say as to which promotional products trade companies they think provided the best overall services to them.

Gordon Glenister, Director General of the BPMA commente:, "Winning a BPMA award really is one of the highest accolades that any company in the promotional products industry can receive and I am delighted to congratulate our worthy winners.”

A special guest panel consisting of major brands such as Google, Yo Sushi, Cancer Research and Incentive & Motivation Magazine, voted for the Campaign of the year entry, sponsored by Senator Pens and won by Orb International for their Irn Bru campaign.

Sarah Penn, Director at Outstanding Branding - winners of the Distributor of the Year £2- 5 million award, commented: "Firstly of course a huge thank you goes to all of the wonderful suppliers we have here - whether they voted for us on this occasion or not, I want to thank them from the bottom of our hearts - we couldn't do what we do without our supply chain and their support and enthusiasm for working with us is humbling and so very much appreciated.

"Biggest thanks though has to go to #teamOB - we know we can push them hard to work to the OB standards and ask them to challenge themselves constantly; whether that's completing the BPMA education programme, working to their best every day, or performing in a parody video - they always deliver. So a massive thank you from Andy and me to the whole team."
