Since 2014 TOWER London has been filling its trophy cabinet thanks to awards from the likes of Drapers and Best of British Independent Retailers. Here’s what we have won so far.
July 2016
Drapers Footwear Awards 2016
WINNER - Independent Footwear Retailer of the Year 2016
TOWER London are proud winners of the Drapers Independent Footwear Retailer of the Year Award 2016. Here’s what the judges had to say…
“Brothers Gerry and Yiannis Demopoulos have reclaimed the top spot that the family business won in 2014. In our judges’ opinion, this London-based mini-chain ‘’has come on leaps and bounds and is making waves with the big boys industry’’.
Over the past year, Tower London has added a clutch of high profile hires from larger firms including Sport Direct-owned USC, Asos’s Crooked Tongues and Author. These additions to Team Tower - which since 2013 has grown from 20 to 77 people – have improved efficiency, productivity and conversion.
The company has relocated its headquarters from Wood Green to Shoreditch, east London, and will this month open a concept store in nearby Brick Lane.”
