The Golden Plough named one of Allwyn’s Local Retail Champions for 2025
A Ballymoney shop has been named as one of Allwyn’s top local retail champions.
Celebrating its 2025 Local Retail Champions at an awards evening at the Hilton London Syon Park on Thursday 20th November, Allwyn announced 16 regional winners as well as two national winners.
The Golden Plough in Ballymoney was named one of the 16 regional winners, with the local grocery store and filling station receiving a £5000 prize.
The regional awards recognise retailers and their stores for their outstanding contributions to their local communities. They were nominated by customers for a variety of reasons, including holding fundraising events, prioritising store accessibility, providing home deliveries for the elderly, hosting community events and much more.
Allwyn’s Director of Commercial Partnerships and Retail Sales, Alison Acquaye-Acford extended her congratulations to all of this year’s Local Retail Champions.
“This initiative from Allwyn’s Social Value Fund shines a spotlight on the incredible role National Lottery retailers play in their communities up and down the UK,” said Alison.
“These winners embody the values that make local shops so vital to local areas. We’re proud to celebrate their achievements, as well as the National Lottery Good Causes they support by selling tickets.”
The Golden Plough was the only Northern Irish store to be named a regional winner, with stores from across Scotland, Wales and England rounding out the 16 regional winners.
