Last year’s Farm Shop & Deli Retailer Awards winners

Farm Shop & Deli Show has unveiled the 68 regional finalists in its 2023 Retailer Awards.

Judges whittled down hundreds of entries to a shortlist that spans 12 categories, nine UK regions and some of the UK’s best-loved specialist food and drink retailers. See the list below. Some regions will bag a ‘best retailer’ gong for both small and large businesses.

A focus of this year’s judging has been recognising businesses playing an important role in supporting and developing employees. Judges have looked for initiatives implemented to retain, reward and empower members of staff.

Returning for 2023 are the Newcomer of the Year and Retailer of the Year accolades.

These and the regional winners will be revealed live from Farm Shop & Deli Show, at NEC Birmingham on Tuesday 25 April.

Farm Shop & Deli is one of the UK Food & Drink Shows taking place at the NEC on 24 to 26 April. The event combines Foodex Manufacturing Solutions, Food & Drink Expo, Farm Shop & Deli Show and the National Convenience Show. It will encompass food development, manufacturing, grocery, specialist retail, wholesale and foodservice.

By registering for any part of UK Food & Drink Shows, organised by The Grocer publisher William Reed, attendees gain access to all four shows.
