Over and above

Judges are busy drawing up what is promising to be a spectacular shortlist for the Above And Beyond Awards 2025.

Last year’s inaugural Above And Beyond Awards were a blazing success – shining the spotlight on the courage, care and conviction displayed by so many of our industry’s invaluable employees – those bright sparks lighting up stores and communities across Scotland.

Entries for the Above and Beyond Awards 2025 are now closed and SLR’s judges are hard at work poring over the haul of incredible new submissions received. ‘Incredible’ really is the word. While it’s still early days, we’ve already been bowled over with astonishing acts of kindness, bravery and compassion. We’ve also been inundated with examples of exemplary employees whose business-boosting ideas are helping to supercharge store performance.

We’ll be announcing our shortlist of superstars in the next issue of SLR, with winners to be revealed at our celebratory lunch on 12 March, so watch this space!
