We’re pleased to reveal the shortlist for the SLR Awards 2023 after the successful completion of the first phase of judging.
This, the 21st edition of the SLR Awards, has seen yet another bumper crop of entries which – once again – have been of an extremely high standard.
With the paper judging stage now complete, the judges will now begin the on-the-road judging, visiting every store on the shortlist over the next month.
“Once again, local retailing has proven how vital it is to communities all across Scotland – and I can’t wait to hit the road and start seeing all the shortlisted stores in person,” said SLR Publishing Director Antony Begley. “Good luck to every store on the shortlist.”
Our winners will be unveiled on Wednesday 6 September at a glittering ceremony in the Radisson blu Hotel, Glasgow.
