Whether your High Street Hero is your favourite butcher, baker, or barista, the campaign is a celebration of the “brilliant work of independent retailers and the pride they bring to local communities”.
The search is on to find Northern Ireland’s 2022 High Street Heroes after Finance Minister Conor Murphy and Economy Minister Gordon Lyons launched the public online vote.
High Street Heroes NI is a joint campaign from Retail NI and Belfast Live supported by Camelot and Voice for Locals. Votes can be cast among 11 different categories with shoppers and customers asked to name their favourite convenience store, deli, butcher, or off-license, among others. “Today is about highlighting the contribution of retailers over the past couple of years in supporting their local communities and I would encourage everyone to get involved and vote for your favourite High Street Hero.”
Retail NI President, Peter McBride, said: “We are delighted to launch High Street Heroes NI to highlight and celebrate the huge contribution independent retailers make to our local high streets and the economy. This year’s competition will give consumers the opportunity to give their favourite independent retailer and high street a much-needed boost amid such challenging trading conditions we are currently facing.
