On 19th February 2012, the Annual Footwear Awards will be held, celebrating and recognising some of the industry's hardest working, most dedicated brands, retailers and some of the best products produced. Therefore, it is with pride that Rieker have announced that they are to sponsor the award for the Best Independent Ladies Retailer, showing their recognition of the work and determination that is needed to be a successful ladies footwear retailer.

Chirs Gorrod, the Managing Director of Rieker, commented on their sponsorship of the awards:

“Rieker is delighted to be involved in these new Footwear awards and especially pleased to be sponsoring the Best Ladies Independent Retailer Award. The independent retailer has a very challenging task running their business especially in the current economic climate. Rieker is honoured to be able to put their name to an award that recognises this hard work. We are sure that the night will prove a huge success and will become one of the highlight evenings of the year for the Footwear Industry.”
