The standard of entries received this year was exceptional, and it was pleasing to see increased entry numbers from the independent s UK department store sectors. The judges deliberated long and hard to find this year’s winners because of the very high standard of entries received. Congratulations must also go to our worthy runners-up who, it should still be remembered, were the best in their categories, and our sincere thanks to everyone for their participation.”

Alan Simpson, chairman of the TRA, added: “After last year’s all round success, sales have continued to be buoyant but it has been much tougher and margins have struggled to hold up especially as Christmas approached. The companies who were selected by our panel as worthy winners this year have each made unique contributions to that struggle through innovation in marketing and some exceptional service to the core channel of retailers. In 2017, the only thing we can be certain about is uncertainty and as 2016 brought different challenges, so will 2017. With Brexit negotiations continuing to impact on exchange rates and a new US president, we will again face change and challenges this year. However, I strongly believe that our industry will rise to these challenges, whatever they may bring, and in a year’s time we will again have stars to celebrate.”

A huge congratulations to all the winners of the 52nd Toy Industry Awards!
