The Greats 2016
It's time once again for 'The Greats' and we are really proud to announce that this year we have been nominated for not only one but two 'Greats' awards!  We have been nominated in both the Best Independent Gift Retailer of the Year, London (inside M25) and the Best Retail Display of Gifts, award categories - which are sponsored by Gisela Graham Ltd, Really Good and Soul, (our hosts from last year!)

"These dedicated awards for gift retailers have risen immeasurably in status over the years and are now universally acknowledged as being true accolades of excellence," commented Sue Marks, editor of Progressive Gifts & Home. "Being selected as a finalist is a fantastic achievement. There was a huge entry this year, with some outstanding, first class entries."

The winners of this year’s prestigious gift retailing awards  - The Greats 2016 – will be revealed at an Awards lunch at the glamorous Ballroom at the Grosvenor House, A JW Marriott Hotel, Park Lane, London on Thursday 5th May 2016  - will it be our day?

And the winner is........

well sadly not us! 

Back in March we were selected as a finalist in The Greats Gift Retailer Awards, in the category "Best Independent Retailer within the M25" which was a massive honour!  Having one award under our belt already, (in November we won a Time Out Love london award for best shop) we were secretly hoping to win this award so that we could claim the double within a year and the acknowledgement at both ends of the transaction - our industry (suppliers & reps) and our customers but hey, today was not ours!

What a venue though!  We dined in the glitzy ballroom at the Swanky Savoy and had such a lot of laughs with Ben Norris the comedian and compere at the ceremony!  Thanks so much to our hosts The Really Good Co, who were not only sponsoring and up for an award themselves, but really good fun to be with too!
