We would like to congratulate BNI member Bintesh Amin, from the Canterbury chapter in Kent, for winning store of the year:
LOCAL LONDIS SHOP WINS STORE OF THE YEAR IN NATIONAL COMPETITION
Bintesh and Reena Amin, owners of the local Londis in Blean, have won the top title of Londis store of the year in a national competition.
Bintesh and Reena received their award at a prestigious awards ceremony at the Londis annual conference and gala dinner in London on 8 March.
Some 2,000 shops across Great Britain were entered into the competition after a year in which the Londis business has sought to drive better value to its shoppers.
Entries have been judged on the essentials of the Londis brand:
- Customer service
- Range
- Store standards
- Value for money
- Promotions
- Services
- Involvement in the community
Judges said: “This store was well merchandised, clean and tidy with great offers. The hot food on offer was extensive (including home-made pizza, which was exceptional!) The fresh foods and chilled range was excellent also. Above all this however was the fantastic customer service that was evident from Bintesh, Reena and their team. This is an exceptional store.”
You can view Bintesh’s BNI Connect profile at the chapter website.
Bintesh would also like to thank Geordie , Tim Beggs, and Pat Melsop for their help and support in the nomination process, also Chriss Syrett for the supplies we used in the shop while being judged, and to every one that has supported them. (All the people mentioned are BNI members, apart from Pat who is the commercial director of Kent County Cricket, where the Chapter meet.)
