Uform is set to bring together its STORI retail partners in Northern Ireland this May for a brand conference and awards event.
Uform is preparing to host independent retailers from across the UK and Ireland at its 2026 STORI Brand Conference & Retailer Excellence Awards this May, in a move designed to strengthen engagement with its network of Premium and Approved STORI Programme Partners.
Taking place on May 13 at the Hilton DoubleTree, Templepatrick within the Kingfisher Country Estate in Northern Ireland, the event will centre on the theme ‘The Power of Partnership’, bringing together retailers and supplier partners for a day of insight sessions followed by an evening awards ceremony.
The conference programme is aimed at helping independent retailers sharpen their competitive position, with sessions focusing on improving customer experience, boosting digital engagement and planning for long-term business growth.
Attendees will also be given an early look at upcoming STORI product and brand developments.
The daytime conference will be followed by the STORI Retailer Excellence Awards, which will recognise retailers across 12 categories covering areas such as kitchen design, customer experience, digital engagement, brand representation and the ‘Real Stories’ shared by partners during the year.
Retailers wishing to enter have until Friday March 13 to submit their applications via the dedicated online entry platform.
STORI brand manager Shaunagh Devlin said the event is intended to recognise retailer achievements while reinforcing the brand’s relationship with its partners.
“The STORI Brand Conference & Retailer Excellence Awards is a celebration of partnership, innovation, and the incredible Real Stories that bring our brand to life. As our brand continues to evolve, our commitment remains firmly on supporting our retailers, educating, inspiring and recognising outstanding achievements of those who embody the true spirit of STORI.”
