31 businesses go head-to-head in 2018 Chesterfield Retail Awards

31 Chesterfield retailers are set to go head-to-head in the fifth annual Chesterfield Retail Awards.

Organised by Destination Chesterfield, shops, stores and market stalls will be battling it out to claim at least one of 15 titles, including the coveted overall title of Retailer of the Year, sponsored by East Midlands Chamber. Last year’s winner of the title, Northern Tea Merchants, has this year been shortlisted in the Food and Drink Retailer of the Year category.

This year 14 businesses have been nominated for the first time and seven are hoping to defend their 2017 titles.

For the first time the winners will be announced at a black-tie awards ceremony being held at The Winding Wheel on Wednesday 13 June.

Dom Stevens, Destination Chesterfield Manager, said: “Now in its fifth year, the awards are a great opportunity for everyone to recognise the hard work and contributions individuals and businesses make to the town’s flourishing retail scene. It’s great to see both returning nominees, winners and new faces in the shortlist.”

At the awards, The Pavements Shopping Centre will also present an award to recognise the Best Retailer in the Pavements Shopping Centre voted by shoppers.

This yearr two new awards will be presented at the ceremony in June to commend apprentices and their employers in the retail sector.

Finalists of the new Apprentice of the Year and Apprentice Employer of the Year categories sponsored by Apprentice Town, (led by Chesterfield Borough Council) and Learning Unlimited (The Chesterfield College Group) respectively will be announced shortly.

Supporters of the 2018 Chesterfield Retail Awards include Derbyshire Times, eBusiness Works, In the Works PR, Peak FM, Chesterfield Borough Council, Jumble Creative Design, The University of Derby, JP Fire Safety and Temple Safety.
