Power List

A celebration of the retailers making an impact

The Buyers Power List is a celebration of the retailers making an impact within the garden retail industry. It’s our way of saying thank you, as we recognise the outstanding talent of the individuals and buying teams who have made a notable difference.

The Buyers Power List contenders are nominated by fellow Glee-goers. So, whether you’re a retailer, exhibitor or press, everyone is invited to nominate a stand-out buyer/buying team. Once we have a list of nominees, voting then opens for you to select your winner.

FAQs

What is the Buyers Power List?

The Buyers Power List aims to recognise, celebrate and reward the individuals and buying teams that the garden retail industry have nominated and voted for as making an outstanding difference and being highly influential in the market.

Who can vote?

Anyone can vote; it’s open to all who work within the garden retail industry. There are several different categories, you can vote in just one category or all of them if you choose.

How can I vote for my favourite buyer?

Once the shortlist has been announced, you’ll be able to vote for your winner through an online voting form.

How are the winners picked?

The top nominations from each category will be announced as finalists and will form the Buyers Power List shortlist. Once each category has its shortlist, the winners will be determined by public votes. Remember, anyone can vote and as many times as they like; you can even vote for yourself! The winners will then be announced during a drinks and awards reception at Glee 2023 in June.

What do the winners get?

All finalists receive exclusive VIP admission to Glee and the awards drinks ceremony. Finalists and winners will also be featured on the Glee website and receive additional publicity through the post show communications to the media. Winners will receive an attractive award for their showcase and to celebrate with their teams.

Can retailers and buyers vote themselves?

Absolutely! Don’t be shy. The results are peer-voted so this is truly meaningful recognition for anyone who is shortlisted.
