The winners of the kbbreview Retail & Design Awards 2025 have been crowned, following an evening of strictly stunning celebration.
Nearly 800 retailers, designers and industry leaders gathered at the iconic Tower Ballroom in Blackpool last night to see which lucky winners would be taking home a coveted trophy.
Last night marked the 31st anniversary of the awards, and saw stand-up comedian and actor Seann Walsh – also of Strictly fame – hosting the event, as he entertained the energetic crowd and handed out the trophies to this year’s winners.
“As a die-hard Strictly fan, it was amazing to finally bring the KBB industry’s biggest awards to Blackpool,” said kbbreview managing editor Andrew Davies who opened the event by coming out of the stage on the legendary Blackpool Tower organ.
“What an absolutely brilliant night, with a superb set of winners and finalists. It was amazing to see everyone enjoying themselves and having such a great time, but the best part is always seeing those winners get crowned.”
“I’ve been doing this for years, but the quality of design and retailing in this sector honestly never fails to impress. A huge thanks as well to all of our sponsors – without you we wouldn’t be able to put on such an amazing event.”
