Scottish Local Retailer has won Business & Professional Magazine of the Year at the Scottish Magazine Awards, organised by PPA Scotland. The win marks the second time SLR has been named the best in the business, and is a spectacular end to a hugely successful year for Scotland’s leading title for the convenience grocery industry.
The Award was collected by Editor Kevin Scott at a ceremony in Edinburgh. SLR was also shortlisted for Business & Professional Editor of the Year, and Brand Extension of the Year for its innovative ThinkSmart Convention.
Judges said they were impressed by SLR’s increased reputation as an authority in the industry, and highlighted the fact that SLR is able to “genuinely walk in its audiences’ shoes” thanks to our Woodlands Local store.
Kevin Scott says: “It’s been a phenomenal year for SLR. It kicked off with the launch of ThinkSmart, and was followed by our biggest SLR Rewards yet and a strategic partnership with the Scottish Grocers’ Federation, in addition to delivering a magazine that continues to help retailers make more of their businesses. This award is a testament to everyone that works on SLR and we’re absolutely delighted to have another gong on our mantelpiece. This gives us even more motivation to continue with our hugely ambitious and innovative plans to make the content for our readers even better in 2016!”
