Tonight’s the Night – Neighbourhood Retailer Awards this evening
Tonight’s the night when the crème de la crème of Northern Ireland’s neighbourhood retailing businesses step out in style for the Neighbourhood Retailer Awards 2023 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Belfast.
With a record twenty categories and literally hundreds of entrants – all carefully and rigorously judged by Spotcheck – it’s something special to celebrate with Northern Ireland’s best retailers!
“These are the unsung heroes of Covid – the people who kept us safe, and stocked with every essential – from food to fuel. We really couldn’t survive without you leading the way – and tonight will stand testament to the excellence and innovation that is unique to Northern Ireland” said TV personality and broadcaster Donna Traynor. “No one deserves this one special night off each year to reward and recognise everything that’s special about this sector.”
Publisher Bill Penton said “The Neighbourhood Retailer Awards is the biggest competition for the local grocery and retail industry, acting as an important benchmark for retailing excellence.
“I am amazed at how Northern Ireland convenience stores, forecourts and independent retailers have flourished over the last three decades – have braced innovation and technology, while retaining the highest levels of customer service. It’s the human touch that makes the difference. Our awards are independently and rigorously judged – by Spotcheck and I’d like to personally thank them for their meticulous work undertaken in judging every single category. Believe me, their task isn’t an easy one.”
