Convenience remains the fastest growing sector of the retail grocery market – up 4% to £24.9bn in 2006 and predicted to top £31bn by 2011 (Source: IGD).

Checkout’s readers, the major grocery multiples, have recognised the opportunity the convenience sector represents and have launched their own convenience formats and acquired existing chains in the sector. At the same time, suppliers have introduced new products and partnerships to meet both retailers’ and shoppers’ needs for increased convenience.

The Checkout Convenience Awards, in association with srcg, highlight the achievements of both retailers and suppliers in this dynamic sector with nine separate categories, including Best New Convenience Product, Best Convenience Store Format and Best Supplier Retailer Partnership of the Year; plus the judges award of Convenience Champion of the Year.

The awards will be presented at an exclusive luncheon at the St Stephen’s club, London, on 11 May 2007
