With ‘Staff’ topping the list of positive influences on business for independent cookshops and housewares stockists in the recently published PH/Bira Retail Barometer, there could be hot competition for the title of 2019 Retail Employee of the Year award.
The special award is one of the Excellence in Housewares Awards and will be judged by a panel of leading housewares suppliers.
Retailers of all types can nominate their shop floor or customer service heroes by sending a paragraph about their nominee to Jo Howard, editor of Progressive Housewares (organisers of the Excellence in Housewares Awards in conjunction with Bira) at joh@max-publishing.co.uk
Suppliers can also nominate outstanding retail employees that they have noticed by emailing joh@max-publishing.co.uk.
