Tesco finalist for World’s best e-tailer
Six of the World’s leading retailers have been nominated to compete for the prestigious ‘E-tailer of the Year’ accolade at the World Retail Awards 2008 and Tesco is one of them, as well as being nominated for three other categories of the nine categories available.
Argos, Littlewoods Shop Direct Group, Livraria Cultura, PhotoBox, Tesco Group and vente-privee.com have all been shortlisted for the SAS sponsored award, which is designed to recognise the most successful e-tailer of the last year.
The six companies will now be reviewed at the World Retail Congress in Barcelona (9-11 April) by a Grand Jury comprising many of the world's most respected retailers and retail industry experts.
Each company will be judged against the development of their international network, including the strength of the brand in key territories, financial performance and strategic direction. The overall award winner will epitomise best practice for a retailer operating internationally, and will be announced at a gala dinner held during the Congress at the MNAC (Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya).
