A FIRM based in Bournemouth that lets children review toys has held its first awards ceremony.

The event in London, organised by ToyTesters.tv, unveiled the winning toys as voted for by youngsters.

Head Toy Testers – who go by the names of The Quality Controller, The Fad Spotter, Major FUN, The Innovation Chief and Captain Cool – each casted their votes that helped decide the winning toys that had reached the grand finals.

Gemma Gallagher, founder of ToyTesters.tv, said: “We have been overwhelmed with the response to our awards and the support we’ve had.

“Thank you so much to everyone who picked up the phone for a chat, sent supportive emails and made this all possible. The whole thing was a huge team effort and we should all be really proud of what we’ve achieved.

“We’ll be back next year with an even bigger bang and look forward to solidifying the ToyTesters.tv Awards as one of the most acknowledged platforms for toy industry recognition; the awards where children vote. See you all next year.”

Nigel Clarke, director of content for ToyTesters.tv, added: “Wow - the first ever ToyTesters.tv Awards! It’s been absolutely fantastic.

“Huge congratulations to everyone who has taken part, the toy companies, the Toy Testers and the ToyTesters.tv team. I was continually astounded by the thought and care taken at every stage of the process; this brand new format for where children review toys is revolutionary and hasn’t been done before.

“We’re already planning what’s coming next and I’m looking forward to the awards in 2015.”
