Happy Bunnies
Beatrix Potter – the theme of this year’s Retas awards - was very much a woman ahead of her time. Conversely, being an outstanding greeting retailer means having to be of our time, totally in tune with the nuances of their customers’ tastes as well as adapting to the challenges of the day, be it changes in footfall, Royal Mail issues or cost-of-living constraints, among many others. Here we celebrate The Retas 2024 winners.
