Previous to her role as Account Controller for AO.com, Claire looked after Dixons as an Account Manager.

“I am delighted to be recognised as AO.com’s ‘Account Manager of the Year’. Awards like this are not just a recognition of one person, as it takes a whole team to give a good impression. I’d like to thank colleagues in both customer and trade marketing, planning, logistics, as well as my team. We are all the face of Whirlpool UK and this is as much a reflection of you as it is me”, comments Claire.

Consumers can find major domestic appliances from Whirlpool, Hotpoint and Indesit on AO.com, as well as small domestic appliances from KitchenAid. Each brand has its own dedicated section on the AO website, where consumers can familiarise themselves with the products and browse the various ranges.
