Award history

Winner 2011

Ampersand Commerce with Made.com: Luxuriously Affordable, Great Design

The judges said

"This was a highly competitive category, and the winning entry is a visually attractive site that not only demonstrates clear business benefits for the project but engages customers in an innovative voting system to prioritise product manufacture, which could only have been achieved in an online environment."

Entrant’s description

Made.com gives consumers access to great design at affordable prices by connecting them directly with furniture makers through the Made.com ecommerce store, which was developed by Ampersand IT using the Magento platform. By stripping out the middlemen and connecting customers with the furniture makers directly, Made.com offers designer products that are up to 80% cheaper than the high street. Furniture is made to order and sourced from the freshest design talent, who create unique and original furniture. Made.com’s order tracking system tells you who designed your furniture, its progress in the production process and the location of your shipment.

Winner 2010

11 Out Of 10 Ltd with Pure Gym

The judges said

"For the first time this year, this category combined entries from both classic ecommerce businesses and companies that were using the web or mobile to deliver or significantly enhance their performance: quite a challenge to judge. However, the judges felt that the winner had applied an interesting online commercial model to a traditional offline leisure business and provided excellent evidence of how this had transformed the operation."

Entrant’s description

Pure Gym is a new concept in the leisure industry: a 24/7, contract free, no frills gym based in the heart of UK cities: This concept is underpinned by a new online management system. Processes that required human intervention or that hindered clients accessing facilities have been replaced by automated user-friendly procedures. The Pure Gym system is now being rolled out to support 20 more new gyms. The competitive advantage for Pure Gym is tremendous. Rival enterprises have recognised the danger posed by this new system and are now investing heavily in order to compete on price and service.
