The Glee New Product Showcase 2024 Winners are Revealed

Sixteen fantastic new garden and pet product innovations have been confirmed as the winners of this year’s highly-coveted Glee New Product Showcase. The winning products were announced at a special award presentation organised and run by Garden Trade News at the leading garden retail event, Glee, which takes place this week (10th – 12th September, NEC Birmingham).

Several hundred entries were received across the 13 product categories, plus ‘best of’ awards, with suppliers from within the garden retail sector, eager to showcase the innovation that has kept gardeners coming back for more throughout the past 12 months. hese eager teams all took to ‘The Stage’, Glee’s dedicated seminar hub in hall 10 earlier today to pitch to the judges, highlighting the features and benefits of their latest products in the hope of being crowned this year’s winners.

It was then the work of the panel of judges to carefully deliberate the merits of each entry, before crowning the individual category winners and three ‘champion of champions’ awards at today’s official Glee New Product Showcase ceremony.
