Independent Achievers Academy 2022-23 finalists revealed!

Congratulations to the 34 local news and convenience retailers that are exceeding expectations in the IAA modules below. Since 2006, the Independent Achievers Academy (IAA) has set out to help independent retailers to improve standards, grow profits and celebrate their achievements through its learning and development programme. Over that time the IAA has shone a light on some truly inspirational stores, and this year is no exception.

We’re excited to be announcing the IAA Category Stars and Overall Best Shop at our brand-new event, the IAA Learning & Development Festival on Monday 3 July at the Eastside Rooms, Birmingham.

The IAA Learning & Development Festival is a fantastic opportunity to find new ways to shape, strengthen and supercharge your business during these challenging times, to celebrate the stars of independent retail, and to network with like-minded, success-focused business owners and innovative suppliers. Find out more and secure your space today!
