Celebrating people making a difference
24 September '25
We’re serious about putting people at the heart of retail – because that’s where true success begins.
That’s why we created the People in Retail Awards, to honour those who go above and beyond to make a difference. From the shop floor to the warehouse, from designers to supply chain wizards, every role matters.
Join us in celebrating the unsung heroes of retail. Let’s recognise their efforts, inspire change and build a brighter future for all.
📅 Save the Date 📅 The People in Retail Awards Night is happening on 24th September.
Congratulations class of 2024!
In September 2024, we shone a spotlight on the brightest stars of the retail community and honoured some outstanding individuals and people-centric businesses at the People in Retail Awards.
We were thrilled to partner once again with the Sue Ryder and Retail Trust.
The People in Retail Awards is brought to you by The Retail Bulletin team.
Oh what a night!

We’re delighted to have been awarded the Spirit of Excellence award, at The Retail Bulletin's People in Retail Awards, as a result of our 2022 Christmas Ad, ‘The Beginner’. In our biggest moment of the year, we felt it was important to spotlight care experienced children, who are often overlooked in society, and demonstrate the power of kindness at the end of what was a challenging year for many. 💚
What an amazing night! Thank you so much to everyone involved.
A really great night celebrating what matters most… people! The first awards event, and honoured that The Perfume Shop were awarded.

The People in Retail Awards are a great way to celebrate everyone within the retail industry and all the hard work that goes into creating positive working cultures where everyone can feel valued. It is especially important to showcase individuals and companies who go the extra mile and can be role models for others to learn and develop from. I’m very proud to be a partner as I recognise all the hard work and commitment that goes into being your very best version of yourself, and people are at the heart of what I do daily.
