In each of the 12 IAA categories, the top eight retailers have been shortlisted and have the chance of being named the UK’s best for their retail discipline. Achieving this recognition follows a rigorous mystery shopping programme across the UK, using the IAA’s industry leading benchmarks that measure the simple things that retailers can do to provide excellent service to shoppers.
From the 55 stores shortlisted, four finalists in each category will be exclusively announced at the Local Shop Summit on 12 October. Winners will be announced at the prestigious IAA Gala Dinner in London on 1 December. Book your place today at iaa@newtrade.co.uk
