The Association of Convenience Store (ACS) has announced the finalists for this year’s Raj Aggarwal Trophy, awarded to retailers who’ve demonstrated an exceptional commitment to community retailing over the last year in supporting their colleagues, customers and other retailers.
The finalists for the Raj Aggarwal Trophy 2025 are Natalie Lightfoot, of Londis Solo Convenience, Nathalie Fullerton from One Stop Dunbarton Road and Chloe Taylor Green of Taylor-Green’s Spar.
The trophy marks the legacy of independent retailer Raj Aggarwal, who set an incredible example for other retailers in terms of community engagement.
ACS chief executive, James Lowman, said: “We’re delighted to be able to showcase some of the most impressive community retailing taking place across the UK. Natalie, Nathalie and Chloe’s commitment to giving back to their communities is exceptional and a great model for retailers not sure where to start on community engagement.
“We’re looking forward to celebrating all of the finalists at Heart of the Community in the Houses of Parliament in September.”
The winner will be announced by Gareth Thomas MP, Minister for Small Businesses at this year’s Heart of the Community Conference and Reception, taking place at the House of Commons’ Attlee Suite and Terrace Pavilion on the 2 September.
Voting is open now, and will be live until the conclusion of the Heart of the Community Conference on 2 September. You can book a space for the event (although this is limited), find out more about our finalists and the work that they’ve been doing in their communities, as well as vote for your winner here.
