Some of last year's Award winners told us what winning has meant to them:

"I was thrilled to be nominated for the Retail Week Rising Star Award, so to win was even better! The recognition that I am amongst the highest potential in retail has really raised my confidence and my desire to progress in my field."

"Taking part in the Rising Stars Awards was a real morale booster for the people that we put forward. Being nominated by the business for an entry was recognition in itself, to be shortlisted really was the icing on the cake."

Winner of Supply Chain Professional of the Year 2009.

"Winning the award was fantastic recognition for me and my team for a huge amount of hard work during the previous year. It has helped increase my profile both internally at B&Q and externally within the market and remains something I am very proud to have won."
Campbell Ettinger, Buyer, B&Q Showering.
Winner of Buyer Merchandiser of the Year 2009.

"Winning the Online Individual of the Year category and overall Retail Week Rising Star award for 2009 was a great compliment, and fantastic credit to the importance of new channels like mydeco.com for retailers to promote their brand, increase sales and drive new customer acquisition. Since winning the award, I remain passionate about researching how to improve the multi-channel retail experience and how to get user generated content at the core of achieving this. My role at mydeco has grown, and we recently crossed the pond and launched mydeco.com in the USA, watch this space... The range and calibre of entrants to the rising star awards is really impressive, and I wish the best of luck to all the entrants for 2010!"
