Own brand retailer of the year - Leftleys of Wells

Nisa retailers and suppliers were showcased at the recent 2022 Nisa Expo at Stoneleigh.

14 titles were announced including a number of new awards for 2022.

For the first time in the history of the Nisa Expo, any profits from the sale of gala dinner ticket sales were donated to Nisa’s Making a Difference Locally charity while all suppliers in attendance were entered into a draw, with 15 winners receiving a £1,000 donation to be shared in the local community of the nearest Nisa store via a ‘Stronger Together’ MADL donation.

Jenny Potts, events manager at Nisa said: “Every year we strive to deliver a great Expo for our customers and suppliers and it was especially significant this year because of the two-year absence of a physical event.

“The standard of nominees this year was exceptional, and it was fantastic to be able to celebrate their incredible efforts and achievements in person with an event that we hope was one to remember.”
