Retailers have six more days to enter those that make a difference to their company after the Rising Stars Awards deadline has been extended.

The National Skills Academy for Retail Rising Stars Awards gives retail bosses the chance to nominate an individual or team who stands out as a future leader of retail and is making a positive impact to their business.

And, for the first time, the overall winner will secure a complimentary placement to attend the Oxford Summer School in 2014. The Oxford Summer School offers an unparalleled learning experience and transforms the careers of retail professionals from their first steps in retail management through to board level director. Find out more about the Oxford Summer School here.

By entering these awards your organisation will not only be able to recognise outstanding individuals and teams, but also position itself as a business that takes a keen interest in the career development of colleagues.”
Theo Paphitis, Owner of Ryman, Boux Avenue and Robert Dyas
