Team & Collaboration

None of this would be possible without our talented RMS team. Behind every project is our dedicated RMS team of project managers, installation experts and merchandising specialists.

In 2025, we expanded our teams to support larger scale projects and new workstreams, helping us ensure excellence across all partnerships.

The Power of RMS’s Hybrid Delivery Model

In 2025, RMS’s Hybrid Delivery Model combining installation, merchandising and project management, has unlocked significant benefits:

  • Faster turnaround: By integrating cross skilled teams, we have reduced delays in transformation programmes.
  • Less downtime: Our flexible teams switch easily between tasks, reducing disruption to trading.
  • Cost & environmental efficiencies: Optimised logistics, re-use of kit and fewer site visits helped us cut costs and emissions.
  • Strong quality & consistency: A unified team ensured every store met RMS standards, supported by real-time visibility via our flex platform.

This approach reflects RMS’s commitment to innovation, collaboration and sustainability in retail transformation.

Sustainability & Innovation

Powered by flex, our proprietary workforce management platform, RMS in 2025 delivered transparency, agility and engagement.

We’re also progressing toward our 2030 vision, focusing on sustainability, innovation and long term value for our partners.
