VM & DISPLAY AWARDS 2022
The British Display Society team were invited to the VM Awards 2022 and what a great evening it was. It is the only dedicated UK event that recognises and celebrates this highly innovative and talented industry. After a twoyear break due to the pandemic, it was good to catch up with so many faces within the VM industry. This year’s event was held at the Leonardo St Paul’s, with the talented Paul Zerdin as the evening’s host. With a good number of categories, these included: • Best Non-Fashion • Best use of mannequins • Best Christmas Windows • Best Pop up Store • Best Christmas Interior Despite the pandemic retail has certainly bounced back and the creativity with the concepts is superb. The award for the most innovative person in VM went to Janet Wardley at Harvey Nichols. I am pleased to announce that Janet will be one of the judges for the BDS VM Student Competition at the VM & Display Show in April. Please do come along to the show and give your support to our VM Students and the VM industry. Iain Kimmins FBDS Chair – The British Display Society
