Why sponsor an award?
The DIY Week Awards would not exist without our sponsors. Sponsoring an award demonstrates your support for standards of excellence, best practice and innovation across the home improvement and garden sectors. It also gives you the opportunity to put your brand in front of a highly-engaged and motivated audience on the day.
What will I receive as a sponsor?
Sponsors will enjoy the benefits of a highly-targeted marketing campaign across multiple platforms, including print and online coverage in DIY Week and on diyweek.net. There will also be maximum visibility at the Awards event, reinforcing your brand to a highly relevant and captive audience, while enjoying an entertaining day with clients and employees.

The front of the ticket pack also states that the pack is sponsored by you and carries your company logo. Please note that our category sponsor logos will feature on the ticket itself but the ticket pack will carry only your message and branding.
