KORS announces Retail Expedition Award winners
The Kendal Outdoor Retail Show (KORS) has announced the first winners of its KORS Retail Expedition Award, an annual award supporting outstanding expeditions involving outdoor retail staff.
Ian Almond and Mike Wilson who work at Lakes Climber in Ambleside travel to Patagonia in late January with objectives on Fitzroy, Cerro Torre and Ag Poincenot. They win a cash sum of £2,500 plus equipment to the value of £2,500 from KORS exhibitors including brands such as Beal, Petzl, DMM, Rab, Terra Nova, MSR, Black Diamond and La Sportiva.
“This is a direct way in which KORS is putting something back into the outdoor retail community and supporting the specialist outdoor retailer,” says Clive Allen from KORS. “Enthusiastic, experienced and motivated staff are vitally important to specialist outdoor retailers.”
Information about the 2010 KORS Retail Expedition Award including expedition criteria and entry forms are now available on the KORS website (www.kors.org.uk).
The next KORS show is in Kendal on 10-12 August.
