Weybridge,
Surrey, 26th January
2007 – Procter & Gamble
(P&G) The Vice
President and Managing
Director for P&G
in the UK & Ireland,
Gianni Ciserani,
last night celebrated
10 wins at the 2007
Product of the Year
Awards ceremony and
hailed the event
as an important celebration
of innovation in
the consumer goods
industry.
Collecting a special
award in recognition
of P&G’s record
number of wins, Mr
Ciserani said that
innovation is the key
to increasing value
for retailers, producers
and consumers:
“I’m delighted to
accept this award on
behalf of P&G and
I would like to congratulate
all the winners here
tonight, because these
awards are a celebration
of innovation in our
industry.
“Innovation is what
consumers demand from
us. They want products
and services that can
improve their lives,
make life easier, healthier
or more beautiful.
If we fail to do this,
we fail to do what
they expect from us
and disappoint them.
The public who voted
for these awards have
recognised and rewarded
brand innovation.
“Innovation creates
a virtuous circle which
drives value for consumers,
retailers and producers.
That is why P&G
puts innovation at
the heart of our business.
Each year, we have
to work harder – because
the pace of innovation
is accelerating all
