UNITED KINGDOM — On Sunday evening, the winners of the 2020 ETO Awards, sponsored by Satisfyer, were announced in an online broadcast.
ETO’s Lee Schofield, Jacinta Williams and Kirsty Jennings hosted the presentation, which can be viewed on XBIZ TV.
“It was a great shame the whole industry could not get together to recognize and celebrate all the winners’ fantastic achievements,” said ETO editor Dale Bradford. “And we were particularly looking forward to presenting the individual trophies.”
In addition to the perennial Best Sales Team and Best Shop Manager awards, additional trophies for individuals this year included Best Sexual Health Ambassador (winner — Alix Fox), Best Brand Ambassador (winner — Kate Egan of Lovehoney), and Best Industry Ambassador (winner — Jane Bowles of Creative Conceptions.
“On behalf of everyone at ETO, I would like to congratulate not just all of this year’s winners but also all the nominated finalists," Bradford said. "We all operate in a crowded marketplace so just to make the shortlist is quite an accomplishment, especially as it is the readers of ETO who choose the finalists."
"Special congratulations must go to Doxy however, which found itself in arguably the most prestigious category — Grand Prix Award for Excellence — with some of the biggest names in the global industry, and yet it still won," he continued. "That’s a hell of an achievement and a ringing endorsement for the Doxy team, the company itself and its products.”
