ICONIC RETAILERS HONOURED BY INDUSTRY PEERS

Sir Philip Green, Millard (Mickey) Drexler, BS Nagesh and Amancio Ortega were inducted into the World Retail Hall of Fame at a special ceremony on 09 April 2008 held during the World Retail Congress in Barcelona.

The four iconic retailers were selected by retail industry leaders and experts from across the Globe in recognition of their supreme industry achievements.

The World Retail Hall of Fame was launched in 2007 with 100 names representing the unparalleled industry talent of the last century. Each year, the most inspiring and groundbreaking retailers are inaugurated to the Hall of Fame, ensuring that it remains as relevant and timely as the contributions of its first members.

Sponsored by OC&C, this year’s inductees were selected by a special academy made up of World Retail Awards judges, World Retail Congress speakers and the World Retail Congress Advisory Board, with each voting on 4 candidates per region. Read more.
