An East Lothian cheesemonger has been put up for a national retail award as she is shortlisted for Small Independent Retailer of the Year.
The Cheese Lady in Haddington has managed to make her way into the last round of the Retail Industry awards as one of just four finalists. The award is for a “pioneering retailer at the heart of their community providing exceptional customer service and running new, exciting initiatives to help future proof the sector.”
The small, independent cheesemonger is run by Svetlana, who previously owned the Guid Cheese Shop in St Andrews. Svetlana has been working on her love of cheese for the past fifteen years in a career that has seen her host tasting events and masterclasses and even write two separate books about her passion.
