A new list of UK retail’s 100 most inspiring individuals includes more new faces than ever with 44 new entries, including bosses of brands that are shaking up the fashion and beauty sectors.
The newcomers in Retail week’s Retail 100 list of influential leaders include Hurr Collective CEO and founder Victoria Prew, who’s scaled the business to carry an inventory worth more than £1 million from names such as Burberry, Celine and Dior.
With the highest number of new entries in the list’s 18-year history, also included are Jens and Emma Grede, the husband-and-wife team behind Kim Kardashian’s £3bn underwear brand Skims.
London-born Emma is also chair of the Fifteen Percent Pledge, an initiative that encourages US retailers to reserve 15% of their shelf space for Black-owned brands. Her inclusion here shows the huge impact she’s had on UK retail.
UP AND COMING
And just as interesting as those who made the list are those who just missed inclusion this time. The business intelligence platform said that while they’ve not made it this year, there are 13 retail executives it believes will “either be driving major growth at the helm of UK retailers in the next five years or are already leading a burgeoning retailer or brand set to become an even bigger name”.
They include Lucy Gorman, chief executive at THG Beauty; Naomi Simcock, retail director at John Lewis Partnership; and Moses Rashid, founder and chief executive at The EDIT LDN.
Also noteworthy was that consumer money-saving champion Martin Lewis made the list this time. He’s not even a retailer but is a huge retail influencer in terms of money-saving ideas with a devoted consumer following.
Retail Week also said that compared with 2025, there’s been a 47% increase in those recognised among its Strategists category, the retail bosses seen to be driving the biggest changes across the industry.
These include JD Sports chair Andy Higginson and chief executive Régis Schultz, “who are leading a new dawn at the sportswear retailer”. The pair are now pursuing further expansion, setting a target of 350 international store openings a year over the next five years, focusing on North America and Europe.
And it added that “customer experience is rising up the agenda”. Some 23 leaders have been celebrated for their work as Experience Innovators, including Roisin Currie, chief executive of Greggs, which recently launched a clothing collaboration with Primark.
Another one in that category is Taku Morikawa, chief executive at Uniqlo Europe, whose creativity work is also celebrated in the report. It said Morikawa has spent the past year “elevating” the fashion retailer’s UK store network with expansion, tech-driven installations and unique formats: “Its new Covent Garden store is particularly noteworthy, occupying 15,000 sq ft over three floors, complete with a Japanese-style tearoom, a florist, a courtyard and an exclusive TfL-branded range”.
And while beauty has its place on the list with the inclusion of key execs from Boots and Superdrug’s owner, it’s not a huge presence. But one standout inclusion under Experience Innovators is Charlotte Tilbury, founder, chair, president and chief creative officer, Charlotte Tilbury Beauty.
She’s achieved a relatively rare feat for UK entrepreneurs of creating a global brand that can compete with the biggest names in the luxury sector and to make women feel great while handing over the not insignificant amounts of cash her products require.
