C T Baker Budgens of Aylsham Wins at the IAA Awards

Posted on Dec 2, 2016

On the 1st December the Directors and management of C T Baker Budgens of Aylsham and Holt attended the 2016 Independent Achievers Academy Awards. The ceremony recognised the achievements of retailers throughout the UK that had worked with the Academy throughout the year to develop their stores.

The IAA awards and gala dinner were held at East Wintergarten in London where C T Baker Budgens of Aylsham was proud to be named best in category for ‘In-Store Display’.  The store came against strong competition from Shelley’s Budgens, Horsham; Shingadia’s Londis, Southwater and The Village Shop Hook Norton.

Alongside its winning category, the C T Baker Budgens of Aylsham store was nominated as a ‘Marketing to Cutomers’ finalist. On the evening, C T Baker Budgens of Holt was heralded as a finalist in the ‘Retail Innovation’ and ‘Effective Ranging’ categories. Both stores were also named within the IAA’s UK & Ireland Top 100 Retailers list — the only two stores in the Norfolk region to be featured in the ranking.

Budgens of Aylsham’s latest award follows its accolade as ‘In-Store Services Retailer of the Year’ at the Convenience Retail Awards in March this year.
