We have some exciting news to share with you! Appliances Online has been shortlisted as a finalist for the e-Commerce Retailer of the Year Category of the World Retail Awards 2015, and boy are we thrilled!
We’re also please to announce our founder (and CEO of the Winning Group) John Winning is a finalist for the Young Retail Entrepreneur of the year award– Congratulations, John!
At just 21 years of age, John founded his first online business, Appliances Online with laptop, rented truck and 1300 number diverted to his mobile. Expansion has occurred at every level of the business and nine years on Appliances Online is arguably one of Australia’s most successful online retailers. – World Retail Congress

Others include-
- Best Customer Experience (2010 and 2011 Online Retail Industry Awards)
- Best Site Design and optimisation (2011 Online Retail Industry Awards)
- Best Pureplay Online Retailer (2010 Online Retail Industry Awards)
“As a retailer, our mission is to provide the best shopping experience in the world and this, alongside our company value to impress every customer, is reflected in every area of our business” – John Winning.
Mr Winning also expresses how these awards signify the hard work and dedication his team has applied to the business throughout the years.
John also says in a statement- “It’s also great to see Australian retailers representing our nation at the awards. For years, Australian online retailers have lagged behind our international counterparts however Australia’s presence at this year’s awards highlights just how far we have come as an industry and I’m proud that Appliances Online is helping lead the way.”
The World Retail Awards celebrate excellence across the retail industry, and will held on September 10 in Rome, Italy. Good Luck to the team, and all the finalists this year.
Absolutely thrilled with the front load washer I bought from you last year – Thanks.
Just love the ‘blimp’ and it is so spectacular at night. Have been telling all my friends about it and hope it translates into $$$$$$$$ for you. Congratulations John and Good Luck.
