This online success was backed up by good old-fashioned ‘extra mile’ customer service, including local deliveries to shielding customers, video consultations and access to the store’s personal shoppers via email, phone or WhatsApp. For those uncomfortable ordering online, the team ensured a steady stream of sales with a carefully organised (and socially distanced) skeleton staff working every day throughout lockdown. Banks Lyon retail director Alex Pecko has contributed to industry conversation around Covid-19 and, along with his team, has demonstrated adaptability when it comes to doing business during a crisis. Nominations pinpointed the business’s ability to change gears and come up with new Covid-appropriate strategies as it worked to fulfil orders safely via every possible avenue. Its ability to nurture an audience and not lose it during trying times is just one of many reasons why Banks Lyon is Highly Commended this year.
