“By all accounts, Debenhams’ customers are really enjoying the shopping experience it offers and we’re thrilled that it has gained both consumer and now industry recognition as a leading example of mobile retail solutions.

“We have thoroughly enjoyed the challenge set by Debenhams which has pushed our talented team to produce something which we believe is an exceptional product. We’re dedicated to maintaining this success and are encouraged by the news of the Debenhams iPhone app being named Mobile Solution of the Year.”

“The highly-respected judging panel acknowledged the seamless blend of technical innovation and a rich, immersive shopping experience which the app offers its users.
