A MEN’S accessories business based in York is in the running for two national awards.

Cuffs & Co, which has a shop on the Shambles, has been shortlisted for a Draper’s Independent Award.

The awards celebrate the most influential brands and highly respected independent retailers and reward those businesses that are changing the landscape of fashion.

Cuffs & Co has been shortlisted in the ‘Local Champion’ category after it organised the Snow in the Shambles evenings in 2017.

It will find out if it has won at a dinner in September.

The business has also been shortlisted for a Best of Britain Award.

These awards give businesses across Britain the chance to win an award for their region, and to have their business recognised for their outstanding service, achievements and overall business ethos, making them one of the ‘Best of Britain 2018’ companies in the UK.

Cuffs & Co are now finalists, along with one other business for the North of England title.
