The Convenience Awards 2020 takes place tonight (29 September) and will recognise the brightest and the best of the industry.
Taking place online and hosted by TV personality Konnie Huq, the awards will highlight the very best businesses in the convenience retail industry.
This is the first time the awards are being held digitally, allowing viewers to watch from the comfort of their own home or store, and on demand. The awards are free to view and open to all.
There’s still time to register for The Convenience Awards 2020. To find out who has won the top accolade in the convenience industry, log on here.
William Reed MD – retail & manufacturing Lorraine Hendle and Lumina Intelligence MD Jill Livesey explained the changes to the awards and how you can watch.
“Of course, we would love to be celebrating the very best from the convenience community in person. However, with that no longer possible, we have created a digital solution that will create the reach and exposure that our industry deserves and it will continue to be the biggest event in the calendar this year. Plus, you’ll be able to enjoy it wherever you choose to.”
As well as the self-entry store awards, the event will also award the Lumina Intelligence research-based accolades including the coveted The Shoppers’ Favourite Symbol Group.
There are also networking hubs offering live chat with our sponsors, fantastic competitions, or exclusive downloadable content.
