WELCOME

The past year has been challenging, and with the rapid evolution of technology, traditional retailers across the UK have had to develop their technology provisions in order to keep up with the growing pressure from consumers. 

New and improved websites, loyalty programmes, in-store technology, mobile channels and a whole host of  other developments that you have delivered, have changed the shape of retail as we know it.

BT Expedite said of the shortlist: "We have had fantastic entries this year, it has been amazing to read about all the innovations you have been working on throughout the past year.Congratulations to everyone who has made the shortlist for the Retail Week Technology Awards 2012.

BT is proud to be the headline sponsor of the Awards and we look forward to toasting the winners at the event and celebrating with everyone who entered.

The judges have a difficult task ahead of them as the shortlist includes some fantastic achievements. The quality of entries shows that innovation is still very much at the heart of the retail sector - and very much leading the way in terms of using new technology and adapting to changing consumer behaviour.

At BT Expedite, BT's multichannel retail specialists, we've long been working with the nation's top retailers to help them profit from the challenges and opportunities presented by the digital networked economy. Along with Retail Week and the judging panel, we wish the shortlisted entries the very best of luck."

The winners of the awards will be announced on 19 June at the Lancaster London, Lancaster Terrace. This is a sell-out event so I recommend booking early.
