“Winning at the Convenience Awards is incredibly humbling. It’s a proud moment for the whole team and a real boost for morale — recognition that all the hard work has paid off. We’re excited to keep pushing forward and improving our offer”

“Winning this award is a great honour for Wivelsfield. It reflects the hard work, passion, and heart that go into what we do every day. For me, it is proof that when you build strong relationships, support those around you, and give your best, it produces something meaningful. This award is not just for me, but for the whole team at Wivelsfield who supported me throughout the journey.”

“Spar Parkfoot has often entered the Convenience award over the years. We think it is a great motivation for our staff should we be lucky enough to be nominated or actually win. Knowing that we have been judged by industry professionals and other retailers is extremely rewarding to the whole team and I would recommend it to every store in the country.”

“It's taking part in any form of the awards that gives us team pride. We enjoy the feedback when given any. The team are super proud to be recognised within the UK as good retailers. The award that I won Retailers Retailer of the Year, is an honour to be recognized by the peers in the industry, I am still over the moon about the award. Entering any awards gives you team and community a real boost showing them you are a store to come back time after time.”

“Winning at the Convenience Awards is a real moment of recognition for our retailers and their teams. It reflects the hard work, innovation and commitment that goes into running a great store and highlights the important role they play in their local communities. Seeing SPAR Malone Road named Convenience Retailer of the Year, alongside so many of our stores and colleagues recognised across multiple categories, is something we are incredibly proud of. Achievements like these give teams a real boost and reinforce the trust customers place in them. The Convenience Awards are a great opportunity to celebrate what retailers do and to showcase their achievements alongside the very best in the sector.”

“Personally, for me, it is an honour to be nominated and a bigger honour to have won, I love my job and my role within our store Eurospar Cullybackey. If I can make someone's day just a bit better by being courteous and polite and going the extra mile, I will. We focus on being part of the community in Cullybackey and treat all our customers as individuals. We are so proud to have won this award and hope to build on it and go from strength to strength and to grow within the community. I look forward to entering next year and hopefully build on my success.”

"Winning Convenience Retailer of the year at the Convenience Store Awards has been fantastic. The team are still on a massive high! To have our store recognised at such a level has been a huge boost to staff and something that we have loved sharing with our customers and local community. We really enjoyed attending the event, celebrating the hard work put in daily by retailers and hearing some inspiring stories. To even be a finalist was an achievement for us, but to actually win was truly amazing- a very special and proud night for Spar Malone."
