Farm Shop & Deli Show reveals retailer awards finalists ahead of April show

Comprising some of the UK’s best-loved specialist retailers, pillars of their respective communities and champions of great produce and sustainable practice, the finalists have been revealed ahead of the awards next month.

An esteemed panel of judges have taken into consideration the ways in which retailers have played an important role in supporting and developing their staff, before creating their shortlist of regional finalists, whittled down from hundreds of entries. 

The 68 successful businesses span 12 categories and nine UK regions, with some regions awarding ‘Best retailer’ to both small and large retailers. 

Back for 2023, the awards will be selecting their ‘Newcomer of the Year’ as well as the return of the ‘Retailer of the Year’ accolade. These and the regional winners will be revealed live from Farm Shop & Deli Show, at the NEC Birmingham on Tuesday 25th April 2023, in what promises to be a thrilling celebration of the sector.
