PIF Awards finalists to be revealed next week

The Pet Industry Federation (PIF) will unveil the finalists for this year’s PIF Awards next week.

The trade body had delayed the announcement out of respect for the national mourning period.

This year’s categories include Grooming Business of the Year, Kennel of the Year, Home Boarding Business of the Year, Dog Daycare Business of the Year, Dog Walking Business of the Year, Pet Service Business of the Year, Sustainability Award, and Special Achievement Awards.

Nigel Baker, Chief Executive of the Pet Industry Federation, said: “Everyone here at PIF was extremely saddened to hear of the passing of Her Majesty The Queen so it made complete sense to delay the finalists’ announcement by one week out of respect for the national mourning period which we are all currently observing.

“We have received an unprecedented number of entries this year and very much look forward to welcoming everyone to the PIF Awards in November. Tickets and accommodation sold out in 2021 so we’d encourage early booking this year.”

The 2022 PIF Awards take place on 17 November at Whittlebury Hall in Northamptonshire.
