Nominations deadline extended for Walpole British Luxury Awards 2023

The annual Walpole British Luxury Awards are set to take place on Monday 20th November 2023, but before we reach the evening itself, we need your help. As you will already know, the Walpole British Luxury Awards celebrate and reward British brands and individuals for their outstanding work in the luxury sector both in the UK and abroad. We're keen to hear which British luxury brands (both Walpole members and non-members alike) have impressed you over the past twelve months.

This year, the ceremony will honour those individuals and brands who have achieved the pinnacle of excellence across nine categories in the past year and, of those nine categories, we would welcome your nominations in the following five awards below.

If you think you deserve to win, you now have until Friday 15th September to nominate your brand.

In association with Investec

Awarded to the British luxury brand that has made sustainability an inherent part of its business, and has demonstrated significant progress in the past year towards applying sustainability best-practice to all aspects of its ecosystem.

Here, a jury of sustainability experts with a strong understanding of what it means to be a sustainable luxury brand will evaluate a shortlist of the five strongest nominees to decide the winner.

The British Luxury Brand of the Year award is not only a clear demonstration of excellence and achievement over the past twelve months, but also sets a new benchmark for distinction against which all other homegrown high-end marques should be judged.

The award is open to nominations for both products and services

The recipient should exemplify the creativity, innovation, and social and environmental responsibility at the core of the luxury sector, as well as the far-reaching influence and appeal a British company can have on the international stage. In short, the winner of this award encapsulates everything it is to be a progressive, influential British luxury brand in 2023.

The shortlist for British Luxury Brand of the year will go out to the Walpole Academy: 250+ Walpole Members, a hand-picked selection of luxury media and other luxury stakeholders. This new process brings an authoritative, peer-reviewed element to this flagship award. The breadth of experience within the Walpole Academy will mean that the definition of what constitutes ‘best’ will be judged by peers, experts and true connoisseurs of luxury.

> Note: Nominees can be both Walpole member and non-member brands
