As Australia’s leading delivery provider we’re incredibly proud to continue supporting the StarTrack ORIAS and the entire industry.”

Award judges represented a cross-section of the online retail community, having been meticulously chosen by the independent judging panel to guarantee the highest standards and integrity was achieved.

They included Grant Arnott ( Power Retail – Managing Director) as the Head of Judges; Alice Kuepper (Online Retailer Event Director), Alita Harvey-Rodriguez (Milk It Academy – Managing Director), Andy Powell (Agile Commerce Consulting – Managing Director), Ben Franzi (Australia Post and StarTrack – General Manager of eCommerce and International), Bernadette Schwerdt, (bernadetteschwerdt.com.au Founder), James Webber (Henslow – Senior Consultant).

Event Director of Online Retailer Alice Kuepper said, “The StarTrack ORIAS truly established itself as the jewel in the crown of all ecommerce events in Australia. The unprecedented quantity and quality of entrants this year shows how much the industry values the award and the recognition it brings. The judging panel undertook a rigorous process to determine the winners and the decision was not easy. All of the nominated retailers have done brilliant things, whether it’s growth, innovation or providing a first-class customer experience.”

“Retail is continuously evolving and so are consumers, therefore retailers especially must work hard to stay competitive and relevant in today’s modern marketplace. It’s important for us therefore to acknowledge these efforts and celebrate their successes together as an industry, in a meaningful way. The winners are the top ecommerce players influencing the market in ways that are both new and compelling, and we congratulate them for their achievements.”
