CELEBRATING EXCELLENCE IN RETAIL
Since its launch in 1995, the Retail Week Awards has been a benchmark of excellence in the sector. Previous winners have gone from young retailers to become household names and many are now considered industry legends.
Retail Week Awards celebrate individuals and teams who are shaping the future of the industry - whether they're transforming customer experience, championing sustainability, or creating exceptional places to work.
The Retail Week Awards are more than a night of celebration. They’re a platform for recognition, a showcase of excellence, and a powerful reminder of retail’s enduring impact. Winners will be announced at the awards ceremony on 19 March 2026 at Grosvenor House, London.
