Full Story
Wilson Smith Group London, a dedicated insurance broker within the Lloyd’s of London marketplace, is set to sponsor the esteemed British Watch Brand of the Year award at this year’s WatchPro UK Awards.
A spokesperson for Wilson Smith Group London expressed their enthusiasm: “We’re delighted to be sponsoring an award at this year’s WatchPro Awards. For us, the awards are about more than simply recognising success. They’re an opportunity to celebrate the people and businesses that make the watch industry what it is, and to recognise the passion, hard work, knowledge and commitment that goes into building successful businesses.”
With extensive experience in the jewellery and watch sectors, Wilson Smith Group London has cultivated strong relationships throughout the industry. Their spokesperson noted, “We’ve been fortunate to work alongside the jewellery and watch industry for many, many years and have built some great relationships along the way. Our team has many years of experience in the specialist jewellery and watch insurance market, giving us a real understanding of the businesses we work with and the challenges they face.”
Demonstrating their commitment, they added, “As a Lloyd’s specialist broker, we’re passionate about what we do, but equally passionate about the relationships we have with our clients and the wider industry. Supporting the WatchPro Awards is therefore a natural fit for us. It’s a great opportunity to come together, celebrate achievements, and recognise the people who are making a difference across the industry.”
The WatchPro UK Awards stand as a key event in the watch industry’s calendar, honouring those companies, individuals, and brands that are at the forefront of growth, innovation, and exceptional service in the UK watch market. Notably, award winners are selected through a voting process involving industry peers, with retail executives casting their votes for brands and brand executives for retailers. This peer-based selection process ensures a high standard of credibility.
The upcoming 2026 awards will encompass a variety of categories, including retail, brand development, marketing, customer experience, and leadership. The shortlist of nominees is expected to be revealed shortly, with table bookings becoming available soon via the WatchPro website.
Sponsorship of the awards offers partners valuable access to senior decision-makers within the UK watch sector, an especially crucial advantage in a luxury market where service and customer engagement are paramount.
