For those of you who have stumbled across/settled down for/recorded religiously the BBC series 'Mary, Queen of Shops' you will be aware of flame-haired, no nonsense Mary Portas. The retail guru makes it her mission to revitalise and encourage growth in parts of the industry that find it toughest; namely, the independents.
Whilst popping into stores from Marks and Spencer to Karen Millen is easy, Portas knows that the only way to keep the unique identity of you and the town you live in, is to support the local businesses.
Which is why she's joined forces with the respected Telegraph Magazine awards and transformed this year's retail awards into a way to celebrate the little guy or, as Portas prefers to call them, 'those local heroes that pepper our retail landscape'.
Keith Scarrott Shoes has been one of the most successful independent retailers that we know of and, as still a very much family-run business, we like to think that we are a great representative of the 'heritage' of retailers that Portas wants to spotlight. Afterall, 35 years of happy customers can't be wrong!
So we would love it if you, our loyal customers, could let the nation know about our hard work and dedication to the shopper.

You could see the team at Scarrott's have masterclasses with Mary herself and become known nationwide. We promise we look good in press photographs!
Thank you so much for your support.
Sophie Scarrott & Team.
