The first Retail Gazette Awards: The Game Changers took place last Thursday, with the best and brightest from UK retail coming together at Bloomsbury Lanes in London for a night of fun and celebration.
The game plan was to create an awards party like no other, ditching the stuffy suits and pay-to-play dinners in favour of a fun party where retail’s true game changers could be recognised.
Take a look at some of the highlights from the night, and to discover the secrets behind the winners download a free special report, in partnership with headline sponsor Quinyx, that takes a deeper look at how these dynamic retailers are changing the game.

Let the fun begin…
There was something for everyone after the presentations.
Quinyx ensured there were plenty of refreshments available.
Ensono Digital sponsored nitro pod ice cream, the perfect dessert for the occasion.
The karaoke and pool room, in partnership with Bloomreach, was rocking all night long.
There was something for everyone, from edible balloons…
…to bowling for the kingpins…
Air hockey, anyone?
Games for the gunslingers…
…and a safe option for those looking to test their skills behind the wheel.
