The only awards that celebrate gift retailing in the UK

The Greats were launched by Progressive Gifts & Home magazine in 2003, in recognition of the tremendous contribution that retailers, both large and small, make to the success of the gift industry. Now in their seventh year, The Greats are established as the premier awards event of the year. It brings together the entire industry for a night of celebration.

The Greats recognise and celebrate not only the top independent and multiple gift retailers regionally and nationally, but also the new breed of gift retailers as well as outstanding retail employees.

The Greats also include the much coveted Best Service To The Retailer awards for gift suppliers.

This year's Awards, hosted by comedian John Bishop, was a great event heightened by the fact that it took on a Venetian theme! Full details of the outstanding 2009 winners will appear in all their glory in Progressive Gifts and Home June edition.

The date for next years' Greats is Thursday 20 May.
