Europa sponsors retail SCEPTRE awards 2010

29 January 2010

Europa is once again backing its commitment to the retail sector by sponsoring the 2010 SCEPTRE Awards.

The SCEPTRE Awards recognise the best practice and the best people in the shopping centre industry and are the pre-eminent accolade in the shopping centre industry. This year, the awards celebrate the 10th Year of SCEPTRE - and it promises to be their biggest event yet!

Europa will be sponsoring the Young Achiever of the Year award which recognises and celebrates inspirational young achievers. Its aim is to recognise, grow and nurture exceptional young people to achieve and develop and to inspire more young people to become engaged in the industry and create positive stories.

Bill Squires, Managing Director, for Europa’s retail sector says, “Europa has been involved with the SCEPTRE awards for many years both as a sponsor and a winner! It’s tremendous to be able to show our support to the encouragement and development of young people in this way and to give our ongoing support to the awards.”

Over the past 10 years, The SCEPTRE Awards have put the spotlight on management teams, retailers and suppliers that demonstrate real excellence. In 2010 it is The Dorchester’s superb ballroom which will host the Awards, presented in 13 categories. Wooden Spoon, the children's charity of the rugby world, will benefit from the fund raising activities around the programme.
