EDITOR’S VIEW: Why this year’s PJ Awards is set to be extra special

Guests will descend on the Leonardo Royal Hotel St Paul’s on 5 September for a black-tie event like no other

PJ editor Sam Lewis

With the Professional Jeweller Awards 2022 shortlist unveiled and voting now live (for our select group of industry experts only), this year’s ceremony cannot be far away.

As of today (6 July) there is officially less than two months to go until the big night.

5 September will see the industry descend on our newly chosen venue, the Leonardo Royal Hotel St Paul’s, for a black-tie ceremony larger than any we have ever hosted.

As usual, guests can expect drinks, a delectable three-course dinner and the dramatic announcement of the winners in our 17 different awards categories.

However, it is not just about the winners.

In the centre of this month’s magazine (which will appear online next week), beginning on page 18, is the full list of shortlisted nominees in each of the retailer and supplier categories, and I thought this was the perfect opportunity to wish each and every one of the 95 finalists a massive congratulations – making it this far in the process is a massive achievement for any business or individual, so well done, from myself and all of Team PJ.

We cannot wait to celebrate this success with you on 5 September.

And on that subject, it would be wise to bag your tickets now, while they are still available. Click here to find out more.

Meanwhile, to enquire about things like advertising opportunities and becoming a sponsor of the event, or for more general questions, contact PJ’s brilliant Anne-Marie Judge via anne-marie.judge@itppromedia.com.

Our category sponsors are Curteis, Ti Sento – Milano (distributed by Mesmeric Distribution), CME Jewellery and NB Diamonds, along with our partner event the Jewellery Show which takes place 5-6 September at the nearby ExCeL. The NAJ is also Supporting Partner.

Showtime Photo Booth will also be joining us on this special evening with its GIF Photo Booth.

All that remains is for me to reiterate how thrilled I am at the idea of seeing each and every one of you there.

We love hosting each and every industry member who comes to the PJ Awards each year, and cannot wait to welcome guests new and old at the beginning of September for a night that is sure to go on until the wee small hours for those who enjoy a drink, a chat and a dance.
