MORE than 400 retailers, suppliers and government officials are expected at the inaugural Retailers Awards 2015 which are meant to celebrate and honour business players in one of the country’s fast growing economic sectors. The retail sector is estimated to spin about $2 billion in turnover annually. The inaugural Retailers Awards are the brainchild of the Confederation of Zimbabwe Retailers and will be held at the Rainbow Towers Hotel on November 24.
CZR board member in charge of marketing Alois Burutsa said the Awards will be a calendar event for the retailers’ body going forward. “Some of the major award categories include Retailer of the year, Wholesaler of the year, Clothing Retailer of the Year, Hardware and Electrical Retailer of the Year, Best Retail promotion of the year, SME Retailer of the year, Retail personality of the year, among others,” said Burutsa.
He said the awards will also serve as a way of raising awareness and the profile of quality home grown goods and services.
