NRA Young Retailer of the Year

The National Retail Association ‘Young Retailer of the Year’ for 2010 has been awarded to Kaylee Albronda, a 21 year old Myer Management Trainee based in Melbourne.

The Young Retailer Event, which is in its 37th year, provides a national platform to recognise and reward excellence amongst young retailers under the age of 25, and to promote retailing as a career for young people. It gives young retailers the chance to exhibit their retailing skills, and be recognised by their peers, the retail industry, and the general community for their innovation, career achievements and outstanding performance in their stores.

The National Retail Association received close to 100 entries into the competition on behalf of young retail professionals employed by most of Australia’s iconic national chains including Myer, Target, Kmart, Woolworths, Coles, Country Road, Supercheap Auto, the Rebel Group, the Reject Shop, Toys R Us, Dick Smith, Esprit, Bed Bath n Table, IKEA, Fantastic Furniture, Michael Hill Jeweller, SABA, Boost Juice, Crust Gourmet Pizza Bar, and Yum! Restaurants.

Service Skills Australia was a sponsor of the event, and our General Manager Kit McMahon participated as a judge.

Congratulations to Kaylee!
