Retail is an amazing sector, and lots of people have built amazing careers through the sector.
Retail NZ celebrates the legends of our sector by awarding Life Membership or Retail Hall of Fame membership to those who have made a significant contribution to our organisation or our sector.
These awards recognise and acknowledge the role played in the wider business community, by providing inspiration and encouragement.
