How are these awards won?
PCR will take soundings from the industry and consider any direct lobbying from retailers, suppliers or general readers before announcing a set of finalists in the January issue.
The winner is voted for by the Judging Panel, which will consist of up to 100 highly regarded industry executives taken from all sectors of the business. Members of the panel vote in confidence and are only revealed after voting is complete. They cannot vote for themselves or associated companies.
