Run by Retail Week and judged by retailers, the BT Retail Week Technology Awards celebrates excellence and showcases the technology that is making a difference to businesses.
Over the past few months, both retailers and suppliers in partnership with retailers have been busy submitting their entries to show exactly how technology has been used for the benefit of their business and their customers. The winners will be announced at the prestigious ceremony in June during an evening of reward, recognition and networking.
