Winners of the Retail Week Rising Stars Awards, in association with Ryman, were revealed last night at a glitzy ceremony in London.
Top retailers from across the country celebrated the future leaders of retail at the Grosvenor House Hotel.
Boots fought off stiff competition to scoop the coveted overall Ryman Retail Week Rising Star of the Year gong.
Theo Paphitis, owner of Ryman, Robert Dyas and Boux Avenue and Retail Week’s Rising Stars Awards ambassador, said: “For me, the Rising Stars Awards from Retail Week is a vitally important awards ceremony, not only for retail, but also for how it recognises future leaders of the retail world.”
Retail Week’s news editor and host of the awards Nicola Harrison said: “Retail Week is proud to champion young talent within the UK’s vibrant retail industry through our Rising Stars Awards. I’m delighted to see such a stellar group of winners this year and we wish them every success as they continue their careers in retail.”
