In a LinkedIn post, he said: "It’s an honour to join a company that has achieved so much over the years. Throughout the process, I have had the chance to meet many incredible people - from founders and investors to business leaders, client teams, engineers, data scientists, and partners. I have been genuinely impressed by the passion and purpose that drives this organisation."

"One quote from a founder especially stuck with me: "I love to lift and learn". It immediately resonated with how I approach work and growth. I’m excited to embrace RELEX’s values, especially "Customer is a friend" and "Life is suposed to be fun". I can’t wait to contribute, learn, and grow alongside this talented team."

He concluded: "A heartfelt thank you to everyone who supported me during this transition since January. The encouragement and kindness from mentors, friends, and colleagues have meant the world.

2025 RTIH INNOVATION AWARDS

Supply chain technology will be a key focus area at the 2025 RTIH Innovation Awards.

The awards, which are now open for entries, celebrate global tech innovation in a fast moving omnichannel world.

Our 2024 hall of fame entrants were revealed during an event which took place at RIBA’s 66 Portland Place HQ in Central London on 21st November, and consisted of a drinks reception, three course meal, and awards ceremony presided over by comedian Lucy Porter.

In his welcome speech, Scott Thompson, Founder and Editor, RTIH, said: “The event is now into its sixth year and what a journey it has been. The awards started life as an online only affair during the Covid outbreak, before launching as a small scale in real life event and growing year on year to the point where we’re now selling out this fine, historic venue.”

He added: “Congratulations to all of our finalists. Many submissions did not make it through to the final stage, and getting to this point is no mean feat. Checkout-free stores, automated supply chains, immersive experiences, on-demand delivery, next generation loyalty offerings, inclusive retail, green technology. We’ve got all the cool stuff covered this evening.”

“But just importantly we’ve got lots of great examples of companies taking innovative tech and making it usable in everyday operations - resulting in more efficiency and profitability in all areas.”

Congratulations to our 2024 winners, and a big thank you to our sponsors, judging panel, the legend that is Lucy Porter, and all those who attended November's gathering.
