Award Winning Gallery

The annual Retail NZ Awards celebrates the best retailers across the country. Industry judges survey retailers, looking out for outstanding retail experiences. 

We are thrilled that Black Door Gallery received both the top honours in the category of Visual Merchandising, and the overall Supreme Award for the small business category. 

​Greg Harford, Retail NZ’s Chief Executive said of the award: ​"The Supreme Award winners faced strong competition from other retailers in the nationwide competition to find the best of the best. Retail is a really competitive business, and successful retailers need to offer a great customer experience, innovate continuously, invest in their people and increasingly work seamlessly across digital and physical channels"
