Georgie Hopkins and Simon Whitehead, directors of Myakka, were in London last week collecting a highly commended award for their work within the retail industry.
Myakka discovered they had qualified for the finals for this prestigious national business award just two weeks ago. The ECMOD Awards took place in London last Thursday 2nd April to reward and recognise the companies’ dedication to retailing.
Myakka were short listed in the Business to Consumer Homewares category due to the quality of their furniture and soft furnishings and their commitment to providing excellent customer service.
“The awards ceremony was a fantastic evening and we were pleased that our work within retailing has been recognised. There were a whole host of companies present and we were proud to be amongst some big names such as Direct Wines, Joules and Hotel Chocolat,” explains Georgie Hopkins, director of Myakka.
The awards took place in the Royal Lancaster Hotel in London with host TV presenter, Dermot Murnaghan who announced the winners. Founded in 1990, ECMOD (which stands for European Catalogue and Mail Order Days) is synonymous with high level information sharing, networking, and supplier sourcing for businesses engaged in catalogue, online and multi-channel retailing.
“It is really fantastic to receive this highly commended award, we will display the certificate in our offices. We owe a special thanks to the hard work from our in-house team, suppliers and the talented producers in India who are dedicated to Myakka and producing our quality furniture and home accessories on a daily basis,” adds Georgie.
This summer Myakka will celebrate its 10th anniversary in retailing and events to mark this occasion are being planned now.
