We’re excited and humbled at the growth we’ve seen in the UK, as we’ve only been there since 2007.

On Friday, October 30, Bazaarvoice was named the 2009 Technology Vendor of the Year by Retail Systems magazine. The competition was tough, with eight finalists vying for the title, including several huge, well-known UK providers.

This Award comes on the heels of rapidly accelerating company growth in Europe. Of the UK’s top 50 UK online retailers, 34 have reviews on site, and we’re happy to say that 19 of these are Bazaarvoice clients.

As our sales and implementation team grows in the UK and across Europe, awards like these – in addition to the positive results and feedback we get from these international clients – tell us we’re providing a service that is needed and appreciated by top international brands.

It’s been a banner year at the London office of Bazaarvoice, with the addition of Andy Leaver, Vice President of International Sales, in July, and another high-impact UK Social Commerce Summit in October.
