The second Neff MasterPartner Excellence Awards were presented at an exclusive luncheon at the Gordon Ramsay at Claridge's Restaurant on Wednesday 15th September 2010, hosted by BBC News journalist, Kate Silverton

Tthe winner of Best MasterPartner Showroom Award was IKAS Kitchen Design Centre, Colchester, Essex.

The winners were selected from the hundreds of entries received from Neff MasterPartner dealers since the 2010 Awards were announced to the trade in April.

The judging panel comprised: two national magazine editors, Ysanne Brooks of Beautiful Kitchens and Martin Allen-Smith of Designer, together with Neff Sales Director Mike Jarrett, Brand Manager Hannah Groves and CEO Uwe Hanneck.

The panel to select the winners of the second MasterPartner Excellence Awards evaluated short-listed finalists. Of the five categories, four were submitted by the MasterPartners themselves but the Supreme MasterPartner award was selected by the Judging Panel as the overall winner from all the finalists chosen for the Awards.

"These Awards are all about recognising those who excel at being first class in every aspect of their business with Neff," said sales director Mike Jarrett. "We have looked at all areas of trading - including customer service, showroom quality, enthusiasm of staff and kitchen displays - to identify these six worthy winners whom we are proud to call our partners."

The Neff MasterPartner Excellence Awards were established last year to recognise the successful partnership between Neff and its key kitchen specialist retailers, known as MasterPartners. Exclusive MasterPartner status is only awarded to committed kitchen showrooms in recognition of long-term support and dedication to the Neff brand.
