Last week was an exciting week here at Home Leisure Direct. Still on a high after receiving FSB Worldpay UK Best Online Business of the Year Award 2014, our Managing Director Andy and Sales Director Roger, set off to the ECMOD Direct Commerce Awards 2014 in London to win yet another award.
With the rest of the team having to hold the fort in Bristol for the day, we were delighted to receive a message that we had won the Best Website category.
As primarily a web-based retailer, we are constantly trying to improve our website, acting on feedback from staff and customers, trying to make it easier to use and ever more useful. It is fantastic to be recognised for all of our hard work.
