The 2027 shortlist for the Retail Week Awards, which have been celebrating excellence in the UK’s retail industry for over 30 years, has today been announced.

Sponsored by Salesforce, the awards recognise and reward the extraordinary efforts of retail colleagues – shopworkers, delivery drivers and headquarters staff – and the retailers themselves.

The winners will be announced at a glittering ceremony on February 25, 2027, at the prestigious Grosvenor House in London.

The Pride of Retail Award winner will be announced on the night. As will the coveted Leader of the Year and Outstanding Contribution to Retail Awards, last year won by then Currys boss Alex Baldock, and The Entertainer co-founders Gary and Catherine Grant, respectively.

Salesforce senior vice-president, industrial, consumer and energy Navkinder Sanghera said: “The retail industry’s remarkable ability to innovate and adapt continues to set the global standard for resilience. As the sector enters a new agentic era, forward-thinking brands are focusing on scalable, real-world success that empowers the workforce to do what they do best. These upcoming awards will undoubtedly showcase how businesses are using technology to actively shape the future of retail.

“Ahead of celebrating the achievements of this year’s entrants, finalists, and eventual winners, the momentum and operational excellence driving the sector forward are already clear. On behalf of Salesforce, we wish the best of luck to all those entering and look forward to recognising the individuals and businesses making an outstanding impact across the industry.”
