INDEPENDENT retailer, Postscript, has been shortlisted for a major national award along with only three other retailers in the UK.
The shop, found at the foot of Catherine Hill, which retails in stationary, arts and craft along with offering print and design services, is up for the BOSS Industry Independent Retailer of the Year award.
Postscript’s Garry Yoxall and Rachel Yoxall James said, “We are absolutely thrilled to have been shortlisted for such a prestigious award from so many other talented independent retailers in the UK.
“Being recognised at such a level in the competitive high street retail environment is a huge honour. We are passionate advocates in support of the independent retailing community and being nominated and shortlisted helps to strengthen our position not only in championing the cause of independent retailing but is also an accolade to our staff and gives customers the reassurance of a quality product and service.
“This is integral to any successful retail establishment in this day and age. We are really looking forward to the awards night, and are proud of our achievements if nothing else”.
Chief Executive at Visit Somerset, John Turner, adds, “I am really pleased that a Somerset independent retailer has been recognised, nominated and shortlisted for this prestigious award. Somerset has many really great independent retailers and this announcement really shines a light on how fantastic the independent retailers are in the county. It is a difficult time for independent retailers however even having the accolade at this time shows there is a great need for independent retailers.
“As we hear of this news, we are delighted to announce that we are developing an independent e-commerce strategy to support and work in harmony with independent bricks and mortar retail. We will be able to give further announcements fairly shortly.”
