Just one week left to enter your front line retail colleagues for the ultimate industry accolade…

Logie award-winning stand-up comedian and actor Dilruk Jayasinha is perhaps best known for playing Ashan on the ABC TV series Utopia.

You might also have seen him in shows including Hughesy We Have a Problem, My Life Is Murder, I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here and Celebrity MasterChef Australia.

Whether on stage or screen, Dilruk has become one of Australia’s most recognisable comedy talents. As PEDESTRIAN puts it: “You’ll be hard-pressed to find a more buoyant, joyful comedian.”

Which makes him the perfect host for this year’s Australian Heroes of Retail Risk Awards…

Now in its second year, this feel-good, fist-pumping event shines a spotlight on the selfless actions, bravery and acts of kindness shown by frontline colleagues across Australian retail – and celebrates the people who go above and beyond every single day.

Every person entered into the Awards will receive a certificate of achievement in recognition of their actions and the fact that their peers were inspired to nominate them.

An independent panel of judges will then select the very best entries across eight award categories. The finalists’ stories will be professionally filmed and showcased during a lavish Gala Dinner hosted by Dilruk at the Crown Melbourne, where winners will be presented with their Awards and treated to an unforgettable evening of celebration.

If you haven’t yet entered someone from the frontline of retail for an Award, you have until 22nd May to do so. Entering is simple, completely free, and you can submit as many entries as you wish.
