Argos wins Multichannel Retailer of the Year (and wins customer from Amazon)

Friday, March 25th, 2011

Last week our friends over at Argos triumphed at the Retail Week Awards, winning Multichannel Retailer of the Year.  They staved off competition from the likes of Marks and Spencer, John Lewis and Halfords, and were especially commended for the ease and multitude of ways in which one can buy from Argos.

Moreover they were praised for their innovative new iPhone app, and a certain nifty little 90-minute delivery service that they offer within London!  Retail Week recommends that Argos’s example be followed by other multichannel retailers… and we are inclined to agree!  Their drive to innovate and willingness to trial new and exciting concepts that improve the value & convenience of their offering have given them a razor-sharp edge that keeps them at the forefront of multichannel retail.

We are immensely proud to be part of their fantastic success, albeit a very small part.

And it looks like their multi-channel strategy is working when they are able to ‘out innovate’ Amazon.  Check out what one of our customers had to say yesterday:

“Argos delivery which made Argos better than Amazon, surprised but pleased. Only request? Had it delivered to my office, didn’t come in a carrier bag of any description, would have been helpful to get it home. Would have been happy to carry a Shutl branded bag…”  –  Katherine,WC1V 24/03/2011

Keep up the good work Argos!



The Next Web Paypal X Startup Rally 2010

Tuesday, May 4th, 2010

the-next-webHonoured to be chosen as one of the 23 finalists at The Next Web Paypal X Startup Rally 2010 in Amsterdam last week, Shutl begrudgingly had to walk away from the event empty handed! Despite our esteemed leader, Tom Allason, nailing his presentation and making some earth-shattering announcements– on the night the awards eluded us.  Changing the way people shop just isn’t enough these days!

That said, here at Shutl HQ we aren’t bitter! Hats off to all the entrants and in particular to the overall winners: Next2News. You can read more about them here.

Thanks to everyone who has shown support for Shutl over the last few weeks/months. An especially big shout-out to the NextWeb team for putting on a truly world class event, looking fwd to 2011 already…
