The 2019 Neighbourhood Retailer Awards was a resounding success with 500 retailers and leading companies coming together in the Crowne Plaza, Belfast.
Following the fabulous, Neighbourhood Retailer Summit, the atmosphere was electric as hundreds of the country’s leading retailers gathered in the ballroom for the annual showcase of industry excellence.
Hosted by Sarah Travers and Joe Lindsay, the winning stores in 19 categories were announced over the course of the Gala Awards evening to collect their gong on stage. Peter McBride was honoured as this year’s deserving Lifetime Achievement recipient and JC Stewarts Magherafelt took home the overall title of 2019 Retailer of the Year.
Special guests on the night included James Dunbar, head of field sales, for Platinum Sponsor Camelot and Jim Dennison from Charity Partner, The Simon Community.
The only award to be decided by a mixture of public vote and mystery shopper visits was Community Store of the Year which was awarded to Kearney’s of Randalstown.
