SDEA Creative Retail Awards Honor Excellence

The Creative Retail Awards organized by Shop and Display Equipment Association and Retail Focus held at London’s newest super-club, Proud Embankment, on 6th June, were once again an outstanding success.  The Awards were attended by some of the most influential and creative minds from all around the world to celebrate the entire spectrum of retail design and display. 

The Creative Retail Awards have quickly become one of the most distinguished accolades within the retail industry. They recognise projects that have demonstrated the very highest level of innovation and excellence within retail.  A panel of industry leaders and experts including senior staff from LEGO Group, Hammerson plc, M. Worldwide, The Honest Brand and The Fashion Retail Academy were faced with the difficult decision of judging a winner within each discipline. These included innovative display products, technology, lighting, POP, store design, surfaces, visual merchandising and many more.  

The evening‘s celebrations combined the perfect blend of networking with an informal party atmosphere that was enjoyed by the diverse retail and display community.  The event included a Prosecco reception, DJ, live band and eclectic, world-renowned performance artistes, including fire and aerial acts. 

Winners on the night included Woolworths South Africa, Flannels, Leicester City Football Club with Kesslers, Clarins with CSM Retail, Joseph with Harlequin Design and Primark with Stylo. Pandora scooped two Awards for their Shine Pop-Up with YourStudio which also won the coveted Judges’ Choice Award. The full list of 2019 Winners can be found at www.creativeretailawards.com.
