The retail industry braved the COVID-19 pandemic and gathered at the Grosvenor House, London to celebrate the winners of the 2020 Retail Week Awards, sponsored by Salesforce. For 25 years, these awards have continued to create a platform to celebrate the creativity and innovation.
Held on 12th March 2020, the RWA are the most anticipated awards of the retail calendar, providing companies with the ultimate platform for industry-wide recognition and celebration from boardroom leaders to digital stars and store managers. In these uncertain times, it was nice to be out and experience a lovely evening filled with influential people and enjoying the new social distancing and elbow taps in person.

I had a lovely time with the Big Top PR team, it was truly a memorable night. I was even given the amazing opportunity to add dazzle to my outfit by wearing a beautiful piece from Beaverbrooks (The everis Consulting Best Place to Work).
