The BBQ Retailer of the Year was awarded to the BBQ Barn, from Sidcup in Kent, while the Furniture Retailer of the Year went to Webbs of Wychbold.
"We decided to introduce these awards to enhance the co-operation between suppliers and retailers," said SOLEX organiser Phil Gibbs.
As well as their trophies, the two winners also received £500 each to spend on a staff night out.
John Whelan, the owner of the BBQ Barn, said: "This is a fantastic award to receive. We pride ourselves on customer service and providing a great range of products.
