More than 425 greeting card retailers, publishers and suppliers attended the event to honour the crème de la crème of their industry on Wednesday, July 13.

The Retas recognise and celebrate not only the top independent and multiple greeting card retailers regionally and nationally, but also the new generation of retailers as well as employees of outstanding excellence.

Brighton based Creased Cards won Best Independent Greeting Card Retailer – Home Counties as a recognition of their fantastic development and the huge efforts behind it.

The company is an innovative and refreshing greeting card and wrap retailer. Their first shop is located in the famous Lanes shopping area of Brighton and offers an impressive mix of contemporary, cutting edge products, coupled with some (very) risqué humour cards – all sitting alongside some unique locally created cards and gifts, which are all guaranteed to put a smile on the face of the recipient.

Paul Jarman, owner and founder of Creased Cards, said: “We’re delighted to have been recognised by our industry peers and the award we’ve received is a testament to the products we choose and our great team. Creased is entering an exciting phase of its young life, as we look to expand in the next 12-18 months. If all works out well, in the next 3 years we’ll have another 4 stores across the country.”

He continued: “In my view, a successful retail business is based on two things – great product and great people – if you have those two things, you are likely to succeed. We work with a lot of smaller publisher partners, both local and national, in order to have the best cards for our customers. I also have a great team of people based in Brighton. We couldn’t have achieved this without them. As we work to expand our reach across the UK through our planned new stores, we will keep these two things firmly at the front of our mind.”
