A business based in Dartford has beaten hundreds of other retailers across the UK to win a major internet shopping award.

TieWarehouse.co.uk, based in ,Crossways, was picked by its own customers as having the best customer experience for buying clothing and accessories.

Owner Gary Baker picked up the Circle of Excellence Platinum Award from price comparison website Shopzilla.co.uk at a champagne ceremony in London.

He said: “What makes this really special is that our customers voted for us. They rated Tie Warehouse across seven areas such as on-time delivery and customer service.

“To win such a prestigious award is a major coup for a Kent business. We beat off competition from hundreds of other online clothes retailers. That’s made the whole team here really proud of what we’ve achieved in just four years.”

Gary set up Tie Warehouse in January 2004.

It has nearly 2,000 different designs and styles of ties and accessories in stock at any one time, with approximately 100 new products added every month.

Scott Macon, managing director of Shopzilla Europe, added: “The Circle of Excellence Awards recognises the very best online retailers as voted for by the people who really matter, their customers.

“Tie Warehouse has shown it is up to the task of meeting its customers’ very high expectations.”
