Bakers & Larners of Holt has been named as Britain's Best Independent Department Store at the 2019 Housewares Innovation Awards.

It's the second time the store has won this prestigious accolade, having been named Best Independent Department Store at the Housewares Innovation Awards in 2016 and also at the Excellence in Housewares Awards in 2015.

A spokesman said: 'Bakers & Larners would like to take this opportunity to thank its staff for their continued hard work and dedication to realise the store's latest accolade, and its customers — without whom this award simply would not be possible.'

Managing director Michael Baker said: 'Again, through the hard work and dedication of our staff, Bakers & Larners of Holt has picked up another national award for excellence.'

The store beat off competition from fellow finalists Atkinsons (Sheffield), Barnitts (York), Dawsons (Clitheroe) and Housing Units (Failsworth).
