Sales Team of the Year
Sales teams are a vital part of the supply chain, and an integral part of the retail sector.

Entries are open to any sales teams that service the independent convenience sector.
Closing date for the Sales Team of the Year Award is 9 June 2023
Supplier Retailer Initiative of the Year
Seeking out good advice – and then acting on it – is a vital component in the success of any independent retailer. But that advice is not always easy to come by.
That’s why, in recent years, a variety of suppliers have stepped forward with their own business and category initiatives to provide independents with essential advice on things like merchandising and display, range, availability, best sellers, consumer insight and market trends.
Using category insight from leading analysts, such initiatives have proved invaluable in helping store owners to grow sales and boost profits.
Closing date for the Supplier Retailer Initiative of the Year Award is 9 June 2023
Product Launch of the Year
This accolade recognises products available to the independent/convenience channel and are divided into 10 separate sub-categories vital to the impulse channel.
They offer suppliers the opportunity to use the prestigious Retail Industry Awards logo, which is now widely recognised by consumers, as a mark of excellence on-pack.
Suppliers are encouraged to nominate their top launches in each category and the winners will be voted for by the real experts in their field – the retailers themselves.
Closing date for the Product Launch of the Year Awards is 9 June 2023
