GTN's Greatest Christmas Awards - Category finalists and customer vote Top 30
 

Due to the amazingly high standards set and the huge number of customer votes received, 18,919 to be precise, it has taken longer than usual for the judges of GTN’s Greatest Christmas Awards to decide on their winners and for the votes to be ratified.

 

We are now pleased to announce the finalists in each awards category, plus the Top 30 centres in the ultimate customer vote for The Greatest Christmas Garden Centre Team

 

We will be announcing the winners and presenting the awards on the Inspiring Retail Stage at Spring Fair in Hall 2 on Monday 5th February at 5:00pm, where we’ll also have some drinks and snacks available for all those who can join us for our celebration of all that’s great about garden centre Christmas retailing. 

 

If you haven’t already, you can register for Spring Fair at https://www.springfair.com/visitor-registration
