The finalists for the 16th annual BMN Awards have been announced. The Awards, which will be taking place on 24 November, 2017, at the Hilton Park Lane, London, celebrate the best in the merchant sector and is the ‘must attend’ event of the year!

The team of expert Judges were thrilled at the standard of the nominations this year, which highlighted the efforts, achievements, and accomplishments from individuals and companies across the sector over the last year.

Making the decision for each of the 19 categories was tough, and only three finalists could be chosen.

Nichola Farrugia, Editor at Builders’ Merchants News, said: “With more merchant entries than ever before, this year’s nominations gave a clear snapshot of how the industry has moved forward over the past 12 months, from successful businesses continuing to grow, to smaller merchants whose initiative ideas and expansion into new sectors have truly raised their profile in the market.

“All the finalists in every category have the right to be proud of their achievements. We would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to everyone who submitted an entry, as well as to the Judges and sponsors for their invaluable support.”

A limited number of tickets for this year’s Awards are still available however they are selling fast. Book your place at: www.merchants-awards.co.uk/booktable##packages.
