The Christmas issue of Neighbourhood Retailer is now available to read online – and it’s packed with coverage from this year’s NR Awards!
This is the issue you’ve all been waiting for – our award winners’ special!
The 2025 Neighbourhood Retailer Awards was another fantastic event, with history made and records broken, as the best of Northern Ireland’s independent retail came together to celebrate their successes.
You can see full coverage of this gala awards night and the full list of winners in our exclusive supplement.
Following his record-breaking fifth win as Northern Ireland Retailer of the Year, NR visited Tom McAvoy’s Milestone Rathfriland store for a behind-the-scenes look at what makes this award-winning store so successful.
Meanwhile, the Windsor Framework continues to impact the day-to-day running of retail and wholesale businesses across Northern Ireland. NR spoke to Head of FSB NI, Roger Pollen to discuss the issues and see what lies ahead for businesses on both sides of the Irish Sea.
Elsewhere, we find out more about a brand-new family-run convenience store opened by the Wilson family at Carn, and we’re officially on the Christmas countdown and there is plenty of NPD to catch your eye.
