The Farm Shop & Deli Retailer Awards 2024

The Retailer Awards are now closed for entries - good luck to all our entrants!

Free to enter, the Farm Shop & Deli Retailer Awards, in partnership with The Grocer, are highly respected in the industry for playing an important role in supporting, and celebrating, the UK’s independent, specialist retail market across 11 categories.

This year, the awards will be celebrating specialist retailers and recognising their achievements in the independent sector.

No matter how large or small your steps may be, or what financial investment you have made, if you’ve demonstrated the above in your business, then we want to hear about, and celebrate, it!

OUR REPUTATION. YOUR SUCCESS.

The Awards organiser, William Reed, has been helping businesses succeed since the launch of The Grocer in 1862 and the drive to inform and serve their sectors flows through everything they do today. The Farm Shop & Deli Retailer Awards are no exception and, for the over ten years, they have celebrated, and supported, the speciality retail market by utilising their reputation and reach in the sector.

“We are a very long established business, we have been here for almost 200 years. The Farm Shop & Deli Awards were worth entering because it doesn’t matter what you do in your advertising, you can advertise in any paper and magazine, but when an outside body says ‘these guys are going it right, these guys are good’ it’s worth ten times any of that.”
