What does success look like in 2013? It's a question that will increasingly be asked of retailers. As consumer concerns about the economy begin to subside, attention will soon turn to who is best placed to ride any wave of recovery - no matter how small. The Oracle Retail Week Awards is not only the single biggest celebration of this great industry but a unique opportunity to reflect on just that. Sales figures and footfall tell a story, but they are far from the whole narrative. And the people, brands and companies on show at this week's awards give an insight into the strategic advances made by retailers in the past 12 months.

But no entries were invited for the top five awards, which depended solely on the judgement of the industry and the panel. And they coincidentally had something else in common: Aldi, Alliance Boots*, Arcadia, Inditex and John Lewis are all privately held or controlled businesses (*pre Walgreens).
