Victoria Plumb Scoop Retailer Of The Year Award

Victoria Plumb, the UK's leading bathroom retailer has been presented with the prestigious Retailer of the year award in the home products category at the recent Venda ECMOD Direct Commerce Awards in London.

Against a strong shortlist, the Yorkshire based brand claimed the coveted prize at the national Venda-ECMOD Awards ceremony, held at Stamford Bridge the home of Chelsea Football Club, and hosted by Sky News anchor Dermot Murnaghan.

Now in their 15th year, these annual awards recognise the achievements of businesses in the catalogue and multichannel retail sector. Previous award winners include high profile retailers such as John Lewis Direct, Very.co.uk, Littlewoods and Argos. This was the first time Victoria Plumb had been entered for the awards and the win is another successful landmark for the brand.
