In a dramatic upset for shortlisted household names like John Lewis and Clinton's Cards, the annual award for "UK Gift Retailer of the Year 2008" has been presented to our parent company, Temptation Gifts Ltd. 2007 "Best Independent Gift Retailer, South/South-East Region" - "The Greats" awards, awarded by Progressive Gifts and Home magazine UPDATE: 30th May 2007 Temptation Gifts Ltd wins award: Independent Gift Retailer of the Year, South/South-East LOCAL community leaders joined Amersham, Beaconsfield and Berkhamsted shoppers in congratulating the high-street side of the TemptationGifts family on being named Independent Gift Retailer of the Year, South/South-East, against stiff competition in a region which covers more than a dozen counties. Glitzy Ceremony The award was presented by TV funny man Tim Vine, at a glamorous ceremony in London earlier this month. Receiving the award, company chairman Mike Adams sounded understandably delighted: “We are extremely proud of this trophy, but we know that really, the award belongs to our customers.” he said. “Their continued support, friendship, and loyalty has been our inspiration throughout our 25 years in business”. Local Family Business The business began in March 1983 with one tiny shop at the end of Berkhamsted High St. Since then married couple Mike and Sheena Adams have worked tirelessly to develop the company, in the process building up a core team of enthusiastic and hard-working staff and a loyal following of customers from all across the Home Counties, and now of course online. Twenty-five years on, the company enjoys a multi-million pound turnover, generated by 3 large stores and 2 websites, and fuelled by its own huge central warehouse. Always seeking to move forwards, Temptation Gifts now has ambitious plans to double in size again over the next five years, including a 5-fold expansion of the web operation. Praise from Community and Business Leaders The awards, now in their fifth year, cover the whole UK and are presented by leading trade magazine Progressive Gifts & Home. Speaking on behalf of the magazine, publishing director Ian Hyder said: “This was a richly deserved award. Temptation Gifts have been setting the highest standards in gift retailing for 25 years now, and we’re thrilled to recognise their unique contribution to the gift business in the south of England over nearly a quarter of a century.” Alan Watson, Chairman of the local Chamber of Commerce, added his praise: “Temptation Gifts is a stand-out example of the high quality local businesses which make Amersham such a vibrant, enjoyable place to shop. It’s a beautiful store and the staff are always extremely friendly and helpful. I hope this award will help them bring even more people into the town.” Chiltern District Council Leader-in-waiting, John Warder, was extremely proud: “We all know that this District has some of the best shops in the country, but it’s always nice when someone goes and proves it! My warmest congratulations to Temptation and their staff, and to all the people of this area for supporting their local businesses.” Even local MPs were happy to take the time to congratulate Temptation. Cheryl Gillan (Amersham & Chesham) was fulsome in her praise: “Temptation is a delightful shop, very useful for gifts and an asset for Amersham”. Berkhamsted MP David Gauke added: “The strength and quality of our local businesses is something we’ve always been extremely proud of, here in Hertfordshire. Temptation is a well-loved shop and it’s great news for the company and the staff but above all for Berkhamsted, that their success has been recognised in this way.” So from all us here at Temptation, retail or "e-tail", a huge thank you to you, the customer. We're all part of one big team here but we all know that neither side of the operation would be here at all, if it weren't for your support. This award belongs to you! |
