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.
