Rutland and Stamford MP has launched a competition to champion our local retailers.
Rutland and Stamford's Favourite Independent Shop Awards seek not just to celebrate but also to help raise the profile of local independent businesses across Rutland, Stamford, South Kesteven and the Harborough villages. Last year over 20,400 votes were cast and Harrison and Dunn were the overall winner, receiving the highest number of votes in any category. There are now 18 sections following requests for more categories. Votes are open on Alicia Kearns website until 5:00pm on the 12th of December with winners crowned in the New Year.
