2010 Ecommerce Awards Winner

Press Release

    



We are pleased to announce that The Present Club, a unique website based in Beckenham, has won
The 2010 Ecommerce in Kent Award.

The final six nominations, as chosen by the public, were judged by independent e-commerce and retail specialists including David Bentley of Business Link Kent, www.businesslinkkent.co.uk and the Channel Chamber of Commerce.

The awards were presented as part of the iShopKent networking event which brought together retailers based in Kent who sell online.  Many people enjoy the ease of shopping on line but would also like to keep their money local. The event and award were sponsored by The ICELAB Ltd, www.theicelab.co.uk , to celebrate their third anniversary.

Mrs Hewitt, a mother of 3 from Beckenham and founder of The Present Club says “ I would like to thank everyone for voting for us. We are pleased to be recognised for our unique web concept, which helps children to receive their presents via our contribution facility - an online piggy bank”.

This award comes at a time when the UK is recognised by The Boston Consulting Group as having one of the largest e-commerce markets in the world. The research produced in association with Google found that for every £1 spent online to import goods, £2.80 is brought into the UK by exporting goods.  It is also believed that small businesses that make full use of the internet are likely to have four times more growth than those that don’t. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/internet/8091984/UK-has-the-largest-online-economy-in-the-world.html
