Congratulations to Vicki Watters for her success at the first ever Royal Pharmaceutical Society Awards held in London. 

Vicki scooped the winners award for Pre-Reg Trainee of the Year category - a truly fantastic achievement. 

The Royal Pharmaceutical Society Awards gives great opportunity to recognise successful projects or initiatives and more importantly the proactive and innovative approach that led to their success. These are the projects which raise the benchmark in the profession and allow everyone to learn. They benefit everyone but more importantly benefit patients. 

On Thursday 8 September, the winners of Retail Week's 2011 Skillsmart Retail Rising Stars awards were announced at London's Grosvenor House Hotel. The Rising Star Awards celebrate those individual and teams who really make a difference to their company's performance.

The award ceremony brought together hundreds of retail professionals to honour those who have performed outstandingly over the last year. Through gruelling interviews with every individual, the judges were looking for people who demonstrated the skills and intuition to serve the needs of the business both at the support centre and in stores. The categories were tough with competitors from almost every retailer represented.

We are so proud to announce.....

• Alex Ball from our Baby Category scooped the Winners award in "The Buyer/Merchandiser of the year" category.
• Rachel Horsefield was highly commended in the "Online Team/Individual of the year" category.
• Oliver Warner from our Supply Chain development was also shortlisted within the Store Support of the year category.

A massive congratulations to all.

We’re opening our brand new flagship store at Westfield Shopping Centre – Stratford City in September 2011.

Westfield Stratford City will be Europe's largest shopping centre. Our new store has been designed to capture the excitement and drama that the Olympic games will bring to the area. Stratford is located in East London and is easily accessed by road and public transport.

We've a range of opportunities available including Store Colleagues; No 7 Consultants; Account Managers and Dispensers. Join us to help showcase the Boots brand and our legendary customer care to the world.

We’re delighted to be consistently ranked amongst the best companies to work for, according to the latest results of two prestigious national surveys.

Boots Opticians scooped the coveted first place on The Sunday Times Best 25 Big Companies to Work For list. As well as being the UK’s very best big company to work for, we also won a special award for ‘Innovation in Engagement’ in recognition of the work the Boots Opticians Forum does to encourage open communication across the business. Boots Opticians was awarded a Best Companies Three-Star Status, which makes us an ‘extraordinary’ company to work for!

This year, Boots UK earned a brilliant 19th place in The Sunday Times list and a prestigious One-Star Status – it’s the second year running that we’ve been considered a ‘first class’ organisation to work for.

In Ireland, we’ve been leading the way for even longer. For the last three years running we've been ranked one of the Best Workplaces in Ireland, as featured in the Irish Independent.

Perhaps the best thing about these awards is that they’re based on feedback from our own people. Teams across the business reported that they relish the great team spirit and feeling of reward, recognition and appreciation.
