The Henries 2024 Winners Revealed

The winners of The Henries 2024 greeting card industry awards were announced this evening (Thursday 3 October) at a fabulous awards event, held at the Royal Lancaster Hotel in London, hosted by comedian George Zacharopoulos.

The industry’s big event, now in its 29th year, took on a magnificent Ancient Roman theme this year and was attended by 500 members of the greeting card community who shared in the joy as the publishers of the UK’s most innovative greeting card ranges and suppliers who had gone the extra mile on service made their way to the stage to be crowned as winners.

Organised by Progressive Greetings, The Henries are the ultimate accolades in the greeting card industry. As Warren Lomax, director of Max Publishing said: “This year, we had the largest battalion of entries ever, from more publishers than ever before, judged by the most extensive retail senate in Henries history, made up of over 100 retail buyers from right across the spectrum to arrive at what is an incredibly impressive legion of finalist ranges.”

As an uplifting finale, the Honorary Achievement Award was presented to Miles Robinson and Nigel Williams, co-owners of House of Cards. 

Honouring this dynamic retailing duo, Jakki Brown, managing director of Max Publishing told the audience that “They have led from the front, done things their way, seen the big picture as well as the importance of the finer details, building a rock solid business that truly cares for its team as well as those in the greeting card community at large.”

The ‘dynamic duo’ gave an emotional, humbled acceptance speech wherein they said they were “Honoured to be recognised, far from over and still hungry for the future – we’re not finished yet!”
