Steve Adlington, Head of Services at Bensons for Beds, says: "Partnering with Snap Finance marks another step towards our purpose - to help more people get a better night’s sleep. Sleep isn’t one size fits all, and finance isn't either. With Snap, we can serve a wider customer demographic and offer responsible finance options to customers declined by traditional lenders.”
“Snap's innovative card product has enabled us to launch quickly with minimal development or staff involvement, boosting overall approval rates and supporting sales growth, while helping customers create better homes with straightforward, affordable finance."
2025 RTIH INNOVATION AWARDS
Payments were a key focus area at the 2025 RTIH Innovation Awards.
We received a record number of entries and many fantastic examples of the continued resilience and dynamism of the retail space during hugely challenging times.
For a full rundown of all of the shortlisted entries, click here.
Our 2025 hall of fame entrants were revealed during a sold out event which took place at The HAC in Central London on 16th October and consisted of a drinks reception, three course meal, and awards ceremony presided over by award winning comedian, actress and writer Tiff Stevenson.
In his welcome speech, Scott Thompson, Founder and Editor, RTIH, said: “This is the awards’ fifth year as a physical event. We started off with just 30 people at the South Place Hotel not far from here, then moved to London Bridge Hotel, then The Barbican, and last year RIBA’s HQ in the West End.”
“But I’m conscious of the fact that, to quote the legend that is Taylor Swift, You’re only as hot as your last hit, baby. So, this year we’ve moved to our biggest venue yet, and also pulled in our largest number of entries to date and broken attendance records.”
He added: “This year’s submissions have without doubt been our best yet. To quote one of the judges: The examples of innovative developments across both traditional and digital retail spaces were truly remarkable.”
Congratulations to our winners, and a big thank you to our sponsors, judging panel, the legend that is Tiff Stevenson, and all those who attended our 2025 gathering.
