A representative for The Northern Ireland Independent Retail Awards, said: ““We are delighted to be hosting The 2nd Northern Ireland Independent Retail Awards 2019.
“Independent retailers are an integral part of the country’s high streets, offering a diverse range of niche products and services to the residents.
“According to Indie Retail, for every £1 spent with a local, independent business, between 50p-70p circulates back into that local economy. These awards will celebrate the retailers that own small chains whose work often goes un-noticed.
“It is time to thank everyone that serves the local high streets in the best possible way and reward those for not only focusing on meeting customers’ expectations, but delivering services at a high standard as well.
“We would like to congratulate everyone for being shortlisted and we can’t wait to welcome all guests and deliver a memorable event.”
