• Raising your profile with your community and customers - using the tools provided to help you promote your entry, and success.
• Opportunity to network with like-minded speciality retailers, meet producers who can support your business and gain insights and advice from industry leaders at the finals held at the heart of the Farm Shop & Deli Show on Monday 30th March 2020.
“My advice to those considering entering is just do it. Make sure you put some time aside to sit down and work your way through the entry form. It can seem a little a little daunting when you look at it but it really just sums up what you do, and what you love about what you do. Write it from the heart and submit and look what can happen!”
Sharon Heron Fyne Fish, Cokermouth Ltd - Fishmonger of the Year winner.
Next year will see NFF President, Giles Shaw, joining the judging panel for the first time. Giles commented that having been given the opportunity to help highlight and promote the fish aspect of retail he was very much looking forward to it.
