Top comic booked for retail awards dinner

Organised by HousewaresLive.net, Housewares Magazine, DIY Week, diyweek.net and Hardware & Garden Review, the awards are the UK’s foremost event for the retail housewares, hardware, diy and garden trade.

Since winning a Perrier newcomer award at Edinburgh in 2005, Rhod Gilbert has become one of the country’s most sought-after comedians. His dry, deadpan style and his recounting of his early days in the mythical Welsh village of Llanbobl went down a storm when he was a guest at the Industry Awards in 2007.

The Britain’s Best Retailer Awards are open to all retailers in the housewares, diy, hardware and garden market. The closing date for entries is October 3, and entry forms can be downloaded from the Awards link on HousewaresLive.net. To book places at the awards dinner, please call Rachael Pearson on 020 8651 7081, or email rachael.pearson@fav-house.com.
