RMS Celebrates Success at the Sainsbury’s Property Strategic Partnership Conference & Awards

RMS was proud to attend the Sainsbury’s Property Strategic Partnership Conference & Awards at the NEC last month, joining partners from across the network to celebrate collaboration, innovation and the people driving transformation across the Sainsbury’s estate.

The event brought together strategic partners and senior leaders to reflect on achievements over the past year, share future ambitions and recognise the outstanding contributions that continue to deliver positive change across the retail environment.

A standout theme throughout the conference was the importance of partnership.

Reflecting on the day, RMS CEO Daniel O’Toole said:

“It was a brilliant day hearing Sainsbury’s senior leaders share the next chapter of their strategy and ambitions for the future, alongside a genuine message of appreciation from Simon Roberts, who dialled in live from Chicago to personally thank partners for their contribution and collaboration. It was a great reminder of what can be achieved when organisations work together with a shared purpose.”

Recognition for People and Performance

The evening awards ceremony provided an opportunity to celebrate exceptional achievements across the strategic partner network and RMS was delighted to see several significant moments of recognition.

Paul Hodges won the Sainsbury’s “Own It” valued behaviour award, recognising his commitment, professionalism and the positive impact he continues to make in supporting Sainsbury’s operations. The award celebrates individuals who consistently demonstrate ownership, accountability and a commitment to delivering the very best outcomes, making it a well deserved achievement for Paul.

RMS was also shortlisted for Strategic Partner of the Year, recognising the exceptional service, consistency and dedication delivered by teams across the business every day. The recognition reflected the collective effort of RMS colleagues across the UK who continue to deliver for clients with commitment, care and professionalism.

Celebrating the Success of Sainsbury’s Tonbridge

One of the highlights of the evening was seeing Sainsbury’s Tonbridge win the inaugural Scheme of the Year Award.

The project represented a highly ambitious live retail transformation, with RMS playing a key role over the past 12 months in helping deliver the investment while maintaining a fully operational retail environment.

Looking Ahead

We’re proud to be part of a network that values collaboration, innovation and shared success. Events like this highlight the strength of long term partnerships and the impact that can be achieved when organisations work together towards a common goal.

The conference and awards provided a fantastic opportunity to celebrate achievements, strengthen relationships and recognise the people whose dedication continues to drive transformation across the retail sector.

Congratulations to Paul, the Tonbridge project team, all award winners and nominees and the wider Sainsbury’s strategic partner network. RMS looks forward to continuing to support Sainsbury’s on its exciting journey ahead.
