More than 150 people attended The Lexicon Retailer Awards ceremony last night, Sunday, February 23 2020, to celebrate those retailers, restaurants and individuals within the town centre that had been recognised as going that extra mile to keep customers happy. The inaugural event, held at The Grange Hotel, was hosted by radio presenters Ady Williams and Michelle Jordan.
Throughout January, visitors to The Lexicon had been voting for their favourite store, coffee shop, restaurant or individual as part of the judging process.
Paul Johnson-Naylor,General Manager at The Lexicon, says: “We were delighted that hundreds of our customers took part in the Awards by voting for their favourites. Following the success of the event, it is something that we are now planning to do every year.”
