George Dunnicliff of FHP commented:
“It’s great to see such a diverse range of retailers winning these awards. I have said before that Derby’s retail offering has improved markedly over the last few years and I anticipate more quality retailers coming into Derby over the next 12 months following the arrival of retailers such as Co-op Travel (Mid-counties), Ask Italian, Luvya Babes and Grandpa Lew’s Trading Post who opened new stores in Derby, providing further evidence that Derby is seen as a key retailing destination. Long may this continue.”
