Retailers Rejoice

Glasses were raised and congratulations exchanged at Tuesday’s Wall of Fame drinks reception for the winners and finalists of prestigious industry awards The Greats and The Retas.

The very best greeting card and gift retailers from across the country came together during day one of the show to celebrate their achievements with a glass (or two!) of champagne.

PG Buzz was on hand to capture the fun on camera – here are a few of our favourite shots.
