Independent retailer H&F has been crowned Home and Gifts Retailer of the Year at the 2017 Chesterfield Retail Awards, organised by Destination Chesterfield in association with Addooco.
The awards recognised the very best shops, stores and market stalls in and around Chesterfield and the winners were nominated by shoppers. More than 800 people nominated in the awards this year.
Based in Chesterfield, H&F is a family run business that has been in the furniture and interiors business since 1993 and making its own furniture range for 15 years. Louise Peel, Director of H&F, said: “It feels absolutely amazing to win the award. We’re ecstatic.”
Home and Gifts Retailer of the Year was just one of 17 awards presented to 14 businesses at the fourth annual Chesterfield Retail Awards. Other multiple award winners included Adorn Jewellers and Marks and Spencer.
Dom Stevens, Manager of Destination Chesterfield, added: “It’s fair to say that this year’s Retail Awards were the best ever. From the sheer number of nominations we received, to the breadth of businesses nominated, it showed the strength of support in the town for the retail sector.
“It was wonderful to see so many businesses – old and new, recognised and celebrated once again. They are an integral and important part to Chesterfield’s economy and play a very important role and should continue to be supported.”
