Entries for the Specsavers everywoman in Retail Awards are open until Monday 23 May for the 2011, aimed to highlight inspirational role models and their accomplishments within retail.
With retailers in the UK feeling the squeeze (March 2011 sales fell 1.9% -this represents the worst figures recorded since 1996– BRC), it’s never been more important to show support for women in this sector. From florists to pharmacists, boutiques to butchers, department stores to local stores, to those who do it all for free in the thousands of charity shops nationwide.
Maxine Benson, co-founder and director of everywoman, said:“We are looking to give recognition to the talented women in retail whose success will inspire and motivate the next generation.”
Dame Mary Perkins, founder of Specsavers, said:“There are some excellent opportunities for women in the retail industry. Although there are not as many women in senior positions as there should be, there are many good prospects. At Specsavers, many of our stores are owned by female opticians who recognise the importance of excellent customer service and high retail standards.”
The NatWest everywoman Awards are open to any female business owner. Winners will be announced at a ceremony at The Savoy on 14 September 2011.
