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.
