Drakes has been named the ‘Best Independent Fashion Retailer’ at Plymouth’s City and Waterfront Awards.
The family-run business, which last year opened a new store in Drakes Circus Shopping Centre, picked up the award at the James Bond-themed black tie event at Plymouth Pavilions on Thursday, October 22.
The City and Waterfront Awards, hosted by local paper the Plymouth Herald, is an annual event that celebrates the success of local businesses in the community.
Businesses from across the city were nominated by the general public before they voted for who they wanted to win the awards. Some 787 nominations were placed and 35,500 votes were received before a final decision was made by a judging panel.
Andrew Hirshman, director, said: “We are so proud and delighted to have been named as Plymouth’s Best Independent Fashion Retailer. We are very privileged to have such a great team behind us which enable us to win awards like this.
“What makes this so special is that the City and Waterfront awards are voted for by the general public and we are honoured that they took the time to nominate and vote for us. Overall, a fantastic evening surrounded by great company from across a city we are fiercely proud of.”
In last year’s award Drakes picked up the ‘Business of the Year’ award.
