We’re delighted to have been awarded the Spirit of Excellence award, at The Retail Bulletin's People in Retail Awards, as a result of our 2022 Christmas Ad, ‘The Beginner’. In our biggest moment of the year, we felt it was important to spotlight care experienced children, who are often overlooked in society, and demonstrate the power of kindness at the end of what was a challenging year for many. ?

The People in Retail Awards are a great way to celebrate everyone within the retail industry and all the hard work that goes into creating positive working cultures where everyone can feel valued. It is especially important to showcase individuals and companies who go the extra mile and can be role models for others to learn and develop from. I’m very proud to be a partner as I recognise all the hard work and commitment that goes into being your very best version of yourself, and people are at the heart of what I do daily.
