The Henries 2014 Award Winners

Hen14_AWD_174Gifts & Greetings Review has just about recovered from The Henries awards 2014, which took place last Thursday (October 9) at the Lancaster London hotel and were organised by Max Publishing.

We attended as a guest of Spring Fair International 2014, sponsor of the Best Photographic Award category and home each year to the largest presentation of greeting cards that can be found under one roof anywhere in the world.

A highlight of the ceremony was undoubtedly the bestowal of this year’s Honorary Achievement on Paperlink managing director Louise Tighe (left), who overcame her surprise to give a wonderful speech, encouraging people to “overcome their fears… “do what your heart tells you and don’t be scared!”

Hen14_AWD_031We were also delighted when one of our favourite designers and publishers, Hannah Dale of Wrendale Designs (right) pick up the award for Best Art range for the third year running, a well deserved accolade that reflects the company’s meteoric rise to success over the past three years.
