Nisa scoops three top accolades at the Retail Industry Awards

Scunthorpe-based Nisa has won three major awards at the Retail Industry Awards, held this week at the Grosvenor House Hotel, London.

Firstly, Nisa was awarded Symbol Group of the Year for its burgeoning symbol group, which incorporates both the Nisa and Loco fascias. The group was acknowledged for its commitment to developing benefits for independent retailers and for its innovation and drive in the retail sector.

Nisa also picked up the award for Most Sustainable Retailer of the Year following the enhancement of its green credentials within its supply chain, in conjunction with DHL.

The company was rewarded for its Go Green initiative which is a commitment to reducing landfill, carbon emissions, energy and noise in the community.

Nisa member, Dike & Son, was also acknowledged for its impressive fresh produce range being awarded the independent Fresh Produce of the Year award.

In addition to this, the Nisa own label range, Heritage, was acknowledged at the Wholesale Q Awards, which also took place this week, with its Heritage Mixed Olives with Feta Cheese winning the Wholesale Q Delicatessen category and Heritage Baby Leaf Salad winning the Wholesale Q Fresh Produce category.

John Heagney, Nisa group symbol director, commented: “We are extremely proud to have once again been awarded the accolade for Symbol Group of the Year as well as picking up the award for Most Sustainable Retailer of the Year.

“As a company we are run purely for the benefit of our retailers so it is extremely humbling to be recognised by industry experts, and retailers of other symbol groups, for the strides we are making to develop our company to ensure we provide the best possible service to independent retailers.”
