Reflecting on his award, Mr Moody said: “In all my years working in Electrical and DIY/Housewares I have always enjoyed working with independents - supporting independent retailers is more than just a job, it’s something I’m truly passionate about. I admire their enthusiasm, commitment to serve their communities and incredible knowledge about their market and goods. That’s exactly why Bira is here — to champion, support, and stand alongside the independents that keep our high streets alive."
