I am an award-winning independent retailer, community champion, and industry advocate with over 16 years of service across policing and retail. As Managing Director of One Stop Carlton Convenience in Salford, I am passionate about driving innovation, supporting communities, and raising standards across convenience retail. Having been recognised through multiple national industry awards, I bring real-world experience, commercial insight, and frontline expertise to judging.

I am passionate about supporting and empowering women within our industry, championing greater opportunities, representation, and recognition across all levels of retail. I am honoured to have been selected to be part of this prestigious inaugural judging process and look forward to celebrating the individuals and businesses shaping the future of independent retail.
