Jumia wins yet another world class award! The EMEA Channel Academy Award is a global event that recognises organizations for their excellence. Taking place for the seventh year in a row, the 2015 awards event was held at DISTREE EMEA in Monaco with notable representatives from major brands across Europe, Middle East and Africa in attendance. It was an opportunity for the EMEA channel to recognise excellence in the supply and delivery of technology and CE products to consumers across the region. The EMEA awards are particularly meaningful for retailers because vendors vote for the winners. Vendors were instructed to assess retailers on the overall quality of service and their performance during the last 12 months, not just on volumes achieved. Online voting for these prestigious awards closed on Monday, 23rd of February and the awards event was held on 26th of February, 2015.
Jumia, Nigeria’s number one online shopping mall, emerged as the winner of the biggest award of the event: Retailer of the Year, 2015. Jonathan Doerr, MD of Marketing, Jumia Nigeria reiterated the quality service Jumia constantly offers the Nigerian shopper by proudly stating that “Jumia will stop at nothing to gain the trust of every shopper by implementing best practice across all channels, and by gaining the loyalty of every vendor and supplier with the highest level of professionalism and strategic partnership agreements. Jumia is well on its way to achieving its vision of becoming the Amazon + Wal-Mart of Africa”.
