The Asian Trader Awards is one of the most glittering nights of the year with all strands of our industry coming together to celebrate the very best in independent convenience retailing.

The who’s who of the industry, from major manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers and of course the cream of the independent retailing community will come together for one night to pay tribute to Britain’s army of independent retailers.

Last year’s event was recognised as being one of the best ever with many guests appreciating the involvement of retailers sharing their views and insights into their businesses.

This year’s event, to be held on Tuesday 11th November 2008 at the Grosvenor House Hotel, will build on this and offer better networking opportunities ensuring that you experience more fruitful night than ever before.

I would like to invite you to confirm your attendance as early as possible. Please guarantee your place at the must-attend event of the retail calendar by faxing back the attached booking form to 020 7261 0055 or call me to confirm. Please note that names of attendees can follow nearer to the date but reserve your table now to avoid disappointment.

I really do hope that you can join us and be part of this unique evening and share the winning retailers’ dreams of becoming an ‘Asian Trader of the Year.’
