Director Jenna Hall was very pleased with the victory, given that Unique Pets had gone through a tough process to make the final.

She said: “We had to apply to be nominated and had to write 500 words about ourselves which were sent to a panel.

“They decided if we would be nominated and they did a mystery call and also a mystery shopper came in!”

The awards were oversubscribed this year and judges shortlisted six entrants, as opposed to the usual five, because of the high calibre of the candidates.

The shop had double cause for celebration as it recently celebrated its sixth birthday.

Jenna added: “We were gobsmacked when we found out we had won.

“Apparently we passed with flying colours and it shows that the staff really know their stuff and that customers have confidence in us.”

The retailer is based in Winslow High Street and the Aylesbury Business Centre in Chamberlain Road, and offers pet supplies and pet advice.
