Now in its fourth year, PiRA continues to shine a light on the outstanding individuals and teams shaping the future of retail through leadership, innovation and a genuine commitment to putting people first.
This year’s finalists have been chosen across a refreshed set of categories that reflect just how much the retail landscape has evolved, covering everything from inspirational leadership and outstanding store management to sustainability, people development and rising talent.

Every year, the judging process reminds us just how much brilliant work is happening across the industry, often behind the scenes.
We’re delighted to see so many familiar and inspiring names among this year’s finalists, including AllSaints, Card Factory, Charles Tyrwhitt, Currys, ProCook, Regatta, Trotters, FatFace, Footasylum, Holland & Barrett, Liberty, Matalan, Morrisons, The Perfume Shop, The White Company, Furniture Village, Lincolnshire Co-op, Shiseido, F Hinds and Wingstop UK and Ireland, alongside many other fantastic businesses, individuals and teams.
The winners will be announced at the prestigious black-tie gala in London on 24 September, and we can’t wait to bring together retail professionals from across the sector for an evening full of energy, warmth and celebration.
