The SCEPTRE Awards, rewarding the best practice and the best people in the UK and Ireland shopping centre industry, are back - and they're bigger and better than ever.
The superb ballroom at the Dorchester in London's Park Lane will see awards presented in 15 categories on Wednesday June 20.
As in 2006, the Centre Manager of the Year awards will be divided into three size bands: small (up to 150,000 sq ft), medium (150,001 to 500,000 sq ft) and large (over 500,001 sq ft). All will be open to managers of shopping centres, outlet malls and on-site managed retail parks.
Reflecting the continued success of Shopping Centre Ireland magazine, three categories will be dedicated to the Irish market - Shopping Centre Manager of the Year, Agent of the Year and Developer of the Year. And a new category has been introduced for 2007: the Environmental Management Award of the Year, which reflects the growing awareness of green issues and sustainability in the shopping centre industry (see page 27 of this issue).
The Retailer of the Year award and the three Irish categories will be decided by a poll of Shopping Centre readers. All you have to do is log on to [http://www.sceptreawards.co.uk] to vote. And entrants are of course welcome for all the other categories as well, so why not start penning your entry now? Remember, the judges will be looking for hard evidence of achievement.
For further information please call Nicola Chesson in the William Reed events team on 01293 867629 or visit the website.
