DEDICATED TO THE CELEBRATION OF EXCELLENCE FOR 24 YEARS


As we all get back to ‘business as usual’ from the swings, roundabouts and rollercoaster rides of the pandemic, it is time for us to come together to celebrate. Time to focus on the positives and draw attention to the tremendous effort, the sheer brilliance, and the staggering staying power that has enabled sector businesses like yours to succeed in spite of everything that has been thrown at you.


We have been constantly amazed and humbled by the tremendous efforts made by your teams not least your adaptability, resilience, grit and determination to keep striving. Indeed, as we’ve said before, as you prepare your entry you and your team will be reminded just how much you have all achieved across the past 12 months in what have continued to be immensely challenging times.


We’re talking about the way you’ve placed the needs of your customers at the heart of every decision, with every department pulling together and working to deliver their best in the face of truly trying circumstances. It has been a gargantuan effort and now, as life becomes a tad less fraught, we can all reconnect and take what we’ve learned into our onward planning. Many of our sector businesses are exceeding both revenue and EBITDA forecasts, with others steadily rebuilding, a significant number entering new niches, exploring new channels, and making acquisitions for the future. Wherever your business sits, these unique awards are tailored for the celebration of your victories.


LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD


The Lifetime Achievement Award is presented following consultation with an informal group of respected sector leaders. Those nominated have made a significant contribution to the sector over a significant period of time, have developed outstanding businesses, created jobs, opportunities for partnerships, and set new standards which others aspire to.


By honouring these truly impressive individuals we seek to express the gratitude of the sector as a whole for their role in developing new markets, pursuing excellent standards, and sharing their knowledge and expertise with others.


Nigel Swabey, DCA President Emeritus presents the 2019 Lifetime Achievement Award to Stuart Paver.

The Direct Commerce Awards process offers an excellent opportunity for businesses of all sizes and in all niches to compete against their peers and win the hearts of our panel of expert Judges. With our past winners roll call containing some of the very best B2B and B2C direct and multichannel retail names, reaching the shortlist is a worthy achievement in itself, topped only by emerging victorious to receive a category winning trophy. Of course, to coin that much over- worked phrase, you do need to be ‘in it to win it’, and with a range of carefully curated categories to choose from, there is bound to be at least one in which your team’s performance will eclipse all others. Choose your category (ies) and prepare to enter, you can even opt to call on the support of one of your supplier partners and have them work with you on your entry. All the guidelines for this year’s contest can be found at homeofdirectcommerce.com along with our archive of past winners.

All shortlisted entrants will receive 1 complimentary place at the Awards presentation dinner on 16th June 2022 at the Millennium Hotel, Gloucester Rd, South Kensington, London SW5 . Winners receive a trophy to display and commemorative photographs of the presentation and go on to enjoy great publicity via the Direct Commerce Award Winners Publication which includes selected comments from the Judges.
