" I thoroughly enjoy judging these awards, the standard of entries were excellent all round, which didn’t make it an easy job! As Judges we know we’re in such a privileged position when retailers from all corners of the UK choose to present their proudest achievements to us. It’s especially true of this years awards looking at what we as an industry have manage to achieve in the face of a, hopefully once in a lifetime, global pandemic".

"I have to congratulate all companies who submitted entries for the awards. It was both a challenge and privilege being part of the judging panel. The quality of entries was outstanding which made separating a stand-alone winner a very difficult task. Common amongst many entrants was how leadership teams have developed creative, often innovative solutions to the adversity the pandemic caused. What set the winners apart from the rest was how they used the same creative problem solving skills to address changes within their markets to seize opportunities, thwart competition and win in retail".
