As the clock struck midnight last night (January 31) – the closing date for The Greats Gift Retailer Awards 2019 – entries were still enthusiastically arriving by email, making this year’s competition a record breaker.
“Once again, the Greats Awards revealed the passion of gift retailers and gift departments, who really get behind their shops, their products, their displays, their websites, their marketing, their social media, their communities and their local charities,” commented Sue Marks, editor of Progressive Gifts & Home/GiftsandHome.net.
“Despite everything we read and hear about retail, this year’s entrants showed that they have taken on board the challenges, and by sheer entrepreneurship, passion and hard work, are rising above them.”
The winners of the Greats Awards 2019 will be announced at London’s glittering Grosvenor House Hotel on Park Lane, on Wednesday May 15, with all strands of the gift industry invited to share in this very special day for gift retail.
Taking ‘Walk On The Wild Side’ as its theme, The Greats Award are set to be a lavish, fun networking event for the great and the good in gift retail, providing an opportunity for everyone to get together and let their hair down.
Tickets to the event are available from event organiser Clare Hollick e: clare@createvents.co.uk or tel: 01183 340085.
