Better Retailing’s sister title RN has reached the fourth year of its 30 Under Thirty Awards and the achievements of young retailers continues to astound and impress. In an industry that is beset with challenges, from the cost-of-living crisis to the ever-growing competition from multiples, these retailers have found innovative ways to thrive and grow their businesses, from reputational, financial and community-minded perspectives and more.
The winners from this year come from across the UK and are made up of a variety of different kinds of retailer. Some have been in the industry for some time and a fair few are returning finalists from previous years, standing on the shoulders of previous achievements to take their stores to loftier heights. Others are relatively new to the industry, having only taken on a store in the past year or so. And some are not outright owners or managers of stores, but are critical parts of thriving teams within them, with perhaps future ambitions to take the next step into running their own businesses in the future.
Congratulations to this year’s winners, and the communities lucky enough to be served by them.
