Thursday 18th April saw some of the biggest retailers in the industry don their black-tie best and gather together at the Chelsea Football Club, Stamford Bridge, to celebrate the Venda-ECMOD Awards! With a night full of delicious food, good music and entertaining speeches, there was certainly a wonderful atmosphere throughout the evening.

The awards presentation was delivered by Sky News anchor Dermot Murnaghan, with each award presented to the deserving winners by the individual sponsors of each award, including many faces from the Venda team!
After a wonderfully entertaining speech from Nick Wheeler of Charles Tyrwhitt and Chrissie Rucker of The White Company, winners of the The Lifetime Achievement Award, guests were free to enjoy the music from a live band, whilst no doubt spending their drinks vouchers at the bar in celebration!                                                                                                        Other winners from the evening include Bureau Direct for Outstanding Customer Service, Direct Golf for Best Website and Littlewoods for Best Use of Social Media. A full list of the nights winners can be found on the Direct Commerce website.
