Leeds Retail Awards - we won three!

On Sunday 2nd October, the time had come to find out if we had won any awards at this year's Leeds Retail Awards. As a collaboration we had been nominated for 6 awards (3 of us for the same one!) and last year we won 'Best Newcomer'.

The event was at The Met Hotel in Leeds and we were greeted by lovely cocktails before sitting down for a tasty three course meal and lots of wine! Finally, it was the moment of truth and the host, Rich from Radio Aire began proceedings, and the results can be found here.

We are chuffed to have won 3 awards and Bird's Yard was highly commended for the 'Department Store' category just behind Harvey Nichols!!

So we now have the following awards to put up in our shop:

Local Designer - Bo Carter


Jewellery - Life's Big Canvas


Vintage - Birdshell Boutique


After winning these awards, we celebrated in style with plenty more drinks and headed to Hifi Club for the after-party. Overall, it was a brilliant night and we are so happy that after only a year of having the shop, we have gained so much support from the people of Leeds. Thank you!
