We’re pleased to reveal the shortlist for the SLR Awards 2024 after the successful completion of the first phase of judging.

This year has seen yet another bumper crop of entries which – once again – have been of an extremely high standard.

With the paper judging stage now complete, the judges will now begin the on-the-road judging, visiting every store on the shortlist over the next month.

“We were delighted to see a fantastically high standard of entries once again this year with clear evidence of industry-wide large-scale investment once again. There’s no doubt that this outstanding industry sector is continuing to reach for the stars and push the retailing envelope. Choosing stores to shortlist was an extremely difficult task, given the remarkably high standard of entries – so everyone on the shortlists should be extremely proud,”  said SLR Publishing Director Antony Begley.

Our winners will be unveiled on Wednesday 19 June at a glittering ceremony in the Radisson blu Hotel, Glasgow.
