The BMJ Industry Awards 2021 closes for voting this Friday, October 1.

The only awards programme in the merchanting sector that is decided by a public vote, the BMJ Industry Awards seek to reward and recognise the incredible achievements of merchants and suppliers, companies and individuals in the UK merchanting arena.

BMJ Group Managing Editor Fiona Russell Horne says: “Now, more than ever, is the time to celebrate the incredible hard work and dedication that those in the industry have show over the past 18 months. The Covid-19 pandemic has thrown up challenges the like of which we have never seen before and the fact that so many in the industry rose to meet those challenges is testament to the strength of the sector.

“What better way to recognise the hard work and understanding contribution of colleagues, peers and suppliers than by voting for those who have made it through the first round onto our longlist?”

To vote for your choice head to www.bmjindustryawards.co.uk/your-vote-2021/

The winners will be announced at a gala lunch event in London on Friday November 26th
