Renowned for their independent and expert judgment, the Frontier Awards shine a spotlight on the outstanding accomplishments of individuals, teams, and companies shaping the current and future of travel retail.


Awards Night Takes Place In...

The DFNI-Frontier team – Felix, Samara, Kapila, Jill and Chris – are excited to be undertaking a 40 km Charity Walk from the DFNI Office in Croydon to Silent Pool Distillers in Albury, aiming to raise funds and awareness for the Wings of Hope educational charity.

As part of the 40th Frontier Awards anniversary celebrations we encourage our travel-retail industry colleagues and partners to join us in making a meaningful impact by pledging their own ‘40’ themed challenge. This could include a 40-day or 40-hour challenge, 40 acts of kindness, or even a 40-length swim. Remember to tag us @DFNI or use #Frontier40Challenge in your socials!
