Shortlist of brands announced for prestigious Which? Awards

This year’s battle of the brands sees many consumer favourites shortlisted in the 12 award categories at the 2023 Which? Awards.

Winners will be announced at an in-person ceremony on 13th June, where some of the country’s leading household names will come to find out who has been recognised for going above and beyond for consumers and been awarded one of the coveted trophies from Which?. 

The 12 Which? Awards categories include: Which? Travel Brand of the Year, Which? Home Entertainment Brand of the Year and Which? Retailer of the Year, among others.

As always, the shortlisting process and the final judging is conducted by Which? experts and is both rigorous and impartial. This year the judging also took into account the ways in which brands have been supporting consumers through the current cost of living crisis and acknowledges products and services that offer excellent value for money. 

Anabel Hoult, Which? Chief Executive, said: 

The Which? Awards are a prime moment in the Which? calendar, where we can come together to celebrate the brands putting consumers at the heart of what they do. 

All those shortlisted should be very proud of themselves as our standards are notoriously high. We can’t wait to welcome everyone to this year’s event and look forward to celebrating the winners.

Following the consumer champion’s exciting brand refresh this spring, the 2023 awards trophy will feature the updated Which? logo.

Among those shortlisted across the different categories for this year’s awards are household names such as Jet2, LG and Honda.

Since its launch in 2007, more than 150 companies from many different sectors have been the recipient of a Which? Award.

The consumer champion is well known for its independent expert advice and reviews, using rigorous standards to assess thousands of products and services, and calling out practices that prevent consumer harm.
