We’re passionate about supporting your sector
SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT
Continuing the countdown to this year’s Neighbourhood Retailer Awards, we are delighted to share our wonderful sponsors in our special feature, Sponsor Spotlight. Here, we find out more about our sponsor Lockton, who are once again sponsoring the Neighbourhood Store of the Year Category 1 award.
Lockton is proud to once again sponsor the Neighbourhood Retailer Awards and celebrate the exceptional businesses that sit at the heart of communities across Northern Ireland.
We’ve always helped retailers navigate the challenges of insurance and risk management but the launch of our dedicated Forecourt, Service Station and Convenience Store facility last year has allowed us to take that support to an entirely new level.
We’ve travelled the length and breadth of Northern Ireland – visiting stores, meeting owners and managers, and, it must be said, enjoying more than a few coffees along the way. Those conversations have given us a deep understanding of the challenges facing the sector; from rising operating costs and staffing pressures to increasing regulatory and economic demands.
You’ve put your trust in us, and we’ve worked hard to repay that trust by providing specialist advice, tailored insurance solutions and hands-on support when it matters most.
We’ve witnessed first-hand how a serious loss can threaten the future of a business, but we’ve also seen the determination, resilience and entrepreneurial spirit that define this industry. Time and again, we’ve seen retailers adapt, innovate and continue serving their customers and communities.
Beyond that resilience, we see outstanding standards, dedication and passion that make neighbourhood stores so much more than places to shop. They are true community hubs, supporting local people every day and playing a vital role in towns and villages across Northern Ireland.
As a family-owned business built on more than 60 years of hard work, Lockton understands the commitment, sacrifices and long-term vision required to build and sustain a successful business. That’s why we’re so passionate about supporting this sector, collaborating with industry bodies, sponsoring the Neighbourhood Retailer Awards and celebrating your achievements alongside you.
Congratulations to all finalists and the very best of luck to everyone taking part. We look forward to celebrating with you on the night.
