Congratulations to Clementine of Broughty Ferry owners, Jan McTaggart and Carole Sommerville, who are setting off to London to attend The Telegraph Magasine’s Best Small Shops in Britain Award Ceremony. This will be presented by Mary Queen of Shops, Mary Portas.
Clementine’s customers voted for the shop, online in October 2011, ensuring that the small, local greengrocer made it on to a shortlist of just three retailers for the Best in Food category. All the shops will be visited by a judge from The Daily Telegraph and the winner announced at a ceremony in London on Wednesday 22 February 2012.
The awards, now in their sixth year, invite customers to vote in nine categories, from women's and men's fashion to interiors, food, wine and books.
I am pleased that their dedication and creative approach to retailing combined with the fine quality of their produce, often locally sourced, has been widely recognised in our community by customers who have voted for them.
If they win they will be off to Spain to enjoy their award, a three-night stay for two at Hacienda de San Rafael, southern Spain, including flights.
Clementine owners Jan McTaggart and Carole Sommerville were delighted to hear of the nomination:
‘We’re very grateful to all those customers who took the time to vote for us. We’ve been working hard to make Clementine a success and we get lovely compliments from customers every day – but this is incredibly exciting.
We’re sure that, in addition to the locally sourced produce available in the shop, our weekly ‘Soup in a Bag’ has been a great way to get the shop noticed and attract regular customers.’
