The 2025 Spar South West Awards celebrated the outstanding achievements of independent Spar retailers and suppliers across the region at a vibrant Rio-themed evening event following the annual tradeshow and conference, held this year at a new, larger venue, the Riviera International Centre, Torquay.
Hosted by regional wholesaler Appleby Westward, the awards “recognised exceptional performance, innovation and community contribution across the Spar South West network.”
“The awards are about recognising those who go above and beyond, whether on the shop floor, in their communities or through strategic supplier partnerships,” said Mike Boardman, MD of Appleby Westward.
“Every nominee and winner is contributing to a stronger Spar South West and we’re proud to celebrate their success.”
