Grosvenor Announced As Retail Outlet Of The Year

BELGRAVE, UK, November 13, 2010

Celebrating the best in the garden retail industry and rewarding its efforts to achieve excellence across the centre, Grosvenor was a finalist in six categories including Community Involvement and Best Environmental Policy and received two further Highly Commended awards in the Best Planteria and Best Catering Facilities categories.

The awards were presented in recognition of the innovations undertaken by Grosvenor to ensure the centre continues to evolve and create an outstanding destination for visitors with excellence in every area - from the highest service levels to the range of products. Each entry was judged independently alongside more than 100 entrants from around the country.

"To be judged the winner of the most prestigious award of the evening, Retail Outlet of the Year, is testament to each and every member of the team here at Grosvenor. Everyone has played a vital role in ensuring the success of the centre and to win this huge accolade is a great accomplishment," said Iain Wylie, managing director.

"It is a great achievement to win these great awards especially as we were against 'the best of the best' from around the UK and to receive two further Highly Commended awards for the Best Planteria and Best Catering Facilities is the icing on the cake," Iain continued.

These awards are the latest in a line of award wins for Grosvenor this year including the Garden Centre of Excellence accolade for a record 10th consecutive year and awards for the Greatest Living and Style and Outdoor Leisure sectors, together with Highly Commended status in the High Sheriff's Award for Enterprise.
