The perfect way to recognise and reward the hard work of those key people essential to your organisation

The Pride of Retail Risk Awards will take place on 27th March, following Retail Risk – London at the Novotel Hammersmith West, London. Taking its cue from The Daily Mail Pride of Britain Awards, this new event shines a spotlight on selfless actions, bravery and acts of kindness in our industry.

The security guard who bravely saves the day. The cashier who recognises a victim of abuse and intervenes. The team of fund raisers working towards a charitable goal. These are the sorts of unsung heroes that The Pride of Retail Risk Awards recognises.

Eight categories are open for nominations. You can nominate yourself, a colleague a team or a business as appropriate. All categories are open to retailers, suppliers, academics and members of our emergency services.

The Nominees

Each winner will have their story shared on the big screen at the fabulous Gala Dinner and be presented with their Pride of Retail Risk Award. The evening promises to be a wonderful, uplifting and inspirational celebration of courage, compassion and achievement! We will shortly announce the independent panel of judges, comprised of seven of retail’s most senior and respected risk managers. It is free to enter as many categories as you wish. You can also make multiple nominations in each category for different nominees.

Once the Judges have reached their decisions, and chosen a winner for each category, the winners will be invited to receive their Award and the recognition that they so richly deserve at the Pride of Retail Risk Awards Gala Dinner.
