Wiggle has scooped up another prize, winning the RR Donnelley Pure-play Online Retailer of the Year Award at the Oracle Retail Awards 2012. The award ceremony was held on the evening of Thursday 15 March at the Grosvenor House Hotel, London.
Other award categories were won by distinguished retailers such as Sainsbury’s, Argos and Debenhams. As the multisport retailer noted in its post-award release, ‘It goes without saying that Wiggle is immensely proud to have been included in such an esteemed line-up.’
The bar was set extremely high for 2012 and Wiggle was pitched against some formidable opposition, sharing the shortlist with Ocado, Kiddicare, the Hut and Shop Direct. On accepting the win, Humphrey Cobbold, CEO at Wiggle said, “Winning the RR Donnelly Pure-play Online Retailer of the Year Award is a fantastic triumph for Wiggle.
“It shows that the passion and performance of every member of the Wiggle team is being recognised at the highest level in UK retailing. The sense of achievement from this award is sublime.”
Wiggle notes that ‘it had a formidable 2011 and a brilliant start to 2012, [and is] hugely optimistic about the future.’
