Associated Independent Stores (AIS) is proud to be supporting the annual ‘Stars Best Shop Awards’, an industry event which will take place on 16 November 2023, and will celebrate retailers from the underwear, nightwear, swimwear and legwear sectors.

Sue Kemp, Managing Director, AIS and INDX said “As the UK and Irelands leading independent retail buying group for Fashion, Home and Leisure, we are absolutely delighted to be supporting the Underlines 2023 STARS awards, and sponsoring the AIS Independent Retailer of the Year Award.

The ‘Stars Best Shop Awards’ is a key event in the industry calendar that recognises and celebrates independent Intimate Apparel retailers, which is a sector that is very special to us - AIS develop and run INDX Intimate Apparel, the leading trade show for retail buyers, and the only show in the UK dedicated to intimate apparel, so being able to celebrate independent retailers in this way, is close to our hearts.

We very much look forward to the award ceremony and wish all nominees the very best of luck.”
