Vote Independent! – Polls Open for High Street Hero Awards 2024 | Newry News - newry business news

 

You can nominate your favourite business from 1 July 2024 up until 31 July 2024.

It is the perfect opportunity to recognise the independent retailers who are going above and beyond to serve the community and ensure that the local high street is still a thriving place to shop and socialise.

Whether your High Street Hero is your favourite butcher, baker, or barista, they will all be showcased across 13 different categories, including convenience store, deli, butcher, off-licence, and more.

The business receiving the most votes will also be named Overall Independent Retailer.

A record 12,000 votes were cast last year to determine who was crowned Northern Ireland’s retail elite last year.

The Co Antrim town of Ballymoney was named High Street of The Year for 2023 in a tight race with Belfast’s Shankill Road and Newtownards.

 



 

This campaign will be promoted in an 18-town and city tour of Northern Ireland this month.

It is being promoted on 65 bus T-squares and 20 billboards.

Retail NI Chief Executive Glyn Roberts says, “Independent retail is the lifeblood of communities right across Northern Ireland and our annual High Street Heroes NI campaign represents the biggest celebration of our thriving local retail sector.

“Our awards are different – they are a public vote, with no judges, and it is local consumers deciding who wins.”

“We’re gearing up for another huge showcase event and a massive celebration of the individual businesses who are the beating heart of our many villages, towns, and cities.

“The awards are open to local retailers right across Northern Ireland – Portaferry to Pomeroy, Newry to Newtownabbey and Strabane to Scarva and will identify those local independent retailers who are taking a lead.

“Whether it’s a local butcher that’s a cut above the rest or fashion retailer with exceptional style, it’s time to vote for your favourite now.”
