The winners of the kbbreview Retail & Design Awards 2026 have been crowned, following a celebratory evening and a glittering event.
Nearly 800 retailers, designers and industry leaders gathered at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole last night to see which lucky winners would be taking home a coveted trophy.
Last night marked the 32nd anniversary of the awards, and saw comedian and actor Jayde Adams hosting the event, as she entertained the buzzing crowd and handed out the trophies to this year’s winners.
“This is the 32nd year but I think it was one of our best events,” said kbbreview managing editor Andrew Davies. “It was amazing to see everyone enjoying themselves and having such a great time, but the best part is seeing those winners get crowned.
“Experiencing the reaction in the room and seeing the joy on people’s faces when they’ve won is my favourite part of the awards. That’s when it really hits home what it means to them and it makes all the hard work worthwhile.”
Keep an eye on kbbreview.com/awards where a gallery of images will be added throughout the day.
