On Thursday 13th July, AVE Services was proud to support RMS in hosting their 12th Annual User Forum and Awards Evening. The event took place in the stunning grounds of Castle Malwood, at the heart of the New Forest, providing a beautiful backdrop for a day of knowledge-sharing and celebration.

Under glorious sunshine, more than 100 retailers and guests gathered to hear from leading industry speakers and keynote presentations from RMS customers. The day provided an invaluable opportunity to learn, share ideas, and celebrate the achievements of RMS technology users.
