A host of big names are headlining the finalists of this year’s Retailer Awards presented by Dashing.
The Retailer Awards judging recently took place in Sydney at the Commonwealth Bank Sydney offices where the judges analysed each of the submissions, compared and collaborated to create a list of finalists.
The judging panel included Peter Wilkinson, retail chairman; Jerry Macey, retail lead, Commonwealth Bank; Megan Quinn, co-founder of Net-a-Porter; Dr Gary Mortimer, associate professor of marketing and international business at QUT business school; and Jo-Anne Hui-Miller, editor of Inside Retail.
One thing to note is that the top four awards in the list below – the Customer Experience Initiative Large and Specialty, Instore and Online awards – will all be going to The Realise Group and Field Agent to gain customer insights for the final judging of these awards.
“Judging of the retail awards this year was both a pleasure and a challenge,” said Wilkinson.
“A pleasure because there were so many strong and thoughtful entries and a challenge because of the quality and closeness of entries in a number of categories.
“It was particularly interesting to see the number of high standard Corporate Social Responsibility entrants”.
