RTIH Innovation Awards showcases payment pioneers

RTIH recently announced the launch of its 2020 Innovation Awards, sponsored by PMC, C A Design Services and Brightpearl

This includes a Payments Innovation category.

Last year, Klarna emerged victorious, impressing our judges with a number of high profile buy now, pay later deals and the launch of pop-up stores in London and Manchester.

Regular readers will know that throughout 2020 we’ve been flagging up a wide range of forward thinking retail tech initiatives (examples of which can be found here and here).  

Towards the end of November, we will be putting together a shortlist of the coolest tech plays in 2020 across nine categories. 

We will then ask our judging panel to vote for their favourites. The panel consists of: 

Mike Cadden, IT Director (Sales, Marketing and Customer Services), Office Depot 

Sharon Peters, Head Of Technology - Marks and Spencer, HR, Finance, Corporate Services and M&S Bank

Sophie Baron, Founder, Mamamade

Hayley Meenan-Wilkin, Web Trading Management, Ocado.com

Martin Newman, Founder, The Customer First Group

Tiffany Lung, Retail Analyst 

Nadine Neatrour, Chief Customer Officer, ByTerry

Luke Phillips, Program Director, Studio Retail

Glen Richardson, CMO and CTO, Ideal Shopping Direct

Gerald Dawson, Finance Director, Forthglade Foods

Andy Mulcahy, Strategy and Insight Director, IMRG 

The winners will be revealed in December.
