Over 270 guests attended the 2014 ETO Awards in association with Fleshlight on the evening of Sunday June 22nd, the first day of the ETO Show. Staged in the Concourse Suite at the NEC, the awards recognise excellence in every link of the supply chain – including products, brands, distribution, and retail – and the winners are chosen by readers of ETO. They also encompass people and there are two additional awards, one for the Best Stand in Show (chosen by ETO Show organiser Jonathan Kirk) and the ETO Editor’s Award (chosen by Dale Bradford).
