ACS is delighted to announce the finalists for this year’s Raj Aggarwal Trophy, which is awarded to retailers who have demonstrated an exceptional commitment to community retailing over the last year in supporting their colleagues, customers and other retailers across the sector.
The finalists for the Raj Aggarwal Trophy 2025 are:
- Natalie Lightfoot, Londis Solo Convenience
- Nathalie Fullerton, One Stop Dumbarton Road
- Chloe Taylor-Green, Taylor-Green’s Spar
The trophy marks the legacy of independent retailer Raj Aggarwal, who set an incredible example for other retailers when it comes to community engagement.
ACS chief executive James Lowman said: “We are delighted to be able to showcase some of the most impressive community retailing taking place across the UK. Natalie, Nathalie and Chloe’s commitment to giving back to their communities is exceptional and a great model for retailers who are not sure where to start on community engagement. We’re looking forward to celebrating all of the finalists at Heart of the Community in the Houses of Parliament in September.”
The winner will be announced by Gareth Thomas MP, Minister for Small Businesses at this year’s Heart of the Community Conference and Reception, taking place at the House of Commons' Attlee Suite and Terrace Pavilion on the 2nd September. There are limited places remaining due to the capacity of the rooms in Parliament – retailers and suppliers can book to join us at Heart of the Community here.
Voting is open now, and will be live until the conclusion of the Heart of the Community Conference on 2nd September. You can find out more about our finalists and the work that they’ve been doing in their communities, and vote for your winner here.
