Posted in | 2nd July 2026 | By Georgie Williams-Pitt
We are incredibly proud to announce that RMS has been shortlisted for Retail Partner of the Year at The Retail Bulletin’s People in Retail Awards 2026.
The recognition is a fantastic achievement for our business and, most importantly, for the people behind it. From our merchandisers, installers and field teams working in stores across the UK and Ireland, to our behind the scenes logistics support, Account Managers, Project Managers and support teams at our Head Office, this nomination belongs to every member of the RMS team.
Celebrating the People Behind Retail Success
The People in Retail Awards celebrates the individuals, teams and organisations shaping the future of retail through leadership, innovation and a commitment to people excellence.
The Retail Partner of the Year category recognises suppliers, service providers and partner organisations that support retailers through innovative solutions, exceptional service and a genuine people first approach.
A People First Business
As a family owned business founded by Peter O’Toole and led today by CEO Dan O’Toole, RMS has always been built on trust, integrity and long term relationships.
Retail is at the heart of everything we do.
For more than two decades, we have supported some of the UK’s leading retailers through merchandising, installations, store refits, new store openings and large scale transformation programmes. While much of our work happens behind the scenes, our impact is seen on hundreds of shop floors every week.
What makes RMS different is simple: people come first.
Whether it’s investing in our teams, supporting our retail partners through challenging periods or continually innovating to help retailers operate more efficiently, every decision we make starts with people.
Recognition for an Entire Team
This shortlist is more than recognition for RMS as a business.
It is recognition for every colleague who works tirelessly behind the scenes to make retail happen.
It celebrates the merchandisers ensuring shelves are customer ready, the installers transforming retail spaces, the planning team coordinating complex projects, the Account Managers supporting our retail partners and every individual who contributes to delivering excellence day after day.
Their dedication and commitment to our values are the reason RMS continues to grow and why retailers trust us as their retail partner.
Looking Ahead
As we continue our journey towards our Road to 2030 vision, we remain committed to helping retailers navigate change through innovation, sustainability and operational excellence.
Being shortlisted for Retail Partner of the Year is a proud milestone, but it is also a reminder of what drives us forward: supporting retailers, empowering people and delivering exceptional results together.
Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this achievement.
And regardless of the outcome, we are incredibly proud to be recognised among the very best in the retail industry.
Congratulations Team RMS – this recognition is thoroughly deserved!
