Good Retail Awards 2022 winners

Following on from last year’s virtual awards ceremony, the Good Retail Awards are back on the stage and bigger than ever before. Taking place as part of Spring Fair on Sunday 6th February 2022, the Good Retail Awards return, set to shine a light on the achievements of those embracing innovation and creativity to achieve retail success. 

We take a look at the success of the 2021 Awards and give a sneak preview of everything the Good Retail Awards 2022 has in store.

Looking back at GRA 2021

Taking place virtually as part of Spring Fair @Home, last year’s Good Retail Awards was an enormous success, showcasing those in the industry that had taken positive steps to grow their business throughout times of uncertainty.

In a year that had presented so many challenges for retailers, it was a pleasure to share the stories of so many in the industry that had not only adapted, but also thrived.

With an unprecedented number of entries, the judging panel had a challenging job to choose the winners, enjoying learning about each retailer’s campaigns, ideas and approaches.
