Special award for Shrewsbury fashion store owner
A well-known Shropshire fashion and jewellery store owner was this week presented with a special award for driving innovation and making a positive impact on the community.
Stacey Hill, the founder and proprietor of the three award-winning Oberon shops on Wyle Cop, Shrewsbury, was invited to the Houses of Parliament on Wednesday to be presented with a ‘HERo’ award – an honour that recognises the achievements of female entrepreneurs.
“It was a fantastic day. Really lovely,” said Stacey. “And I came away feeling proud and energised to go on and do more.
“We’re also celebrating 40 years of Oberon this year so we will definitely be jumping on the 40-year bandwagon, totally and utterly.”
Celebrating alongside Stacey in London was Shrewsbury MP Julia Buckley who nominated the Oberon founder for the award.
“It was really great to welcome Stacey to Parliament to celebrate her achievement,” said Mrs Buckley. “She’s been such an important part of Shrewsbury town centre over the years with her three brilliant shops.”
All three Oberon shops are nestled together on historic Wyle Cop, between them offering clothes, accessories, jewellery and footwear. Stacey added: “It’s brilliant having the three shops so close together. It works really well.”
