WEBSITE OF THE YEAR 2010

Last year, delivery auction website, Anyvan.com beat over 1800 others to scoop our Website of the Year Award 2010. Founder of the site, Angus Elphinstone comments:

“Winning Website of the Year 2010 was a fantastic moment for us and gave us a great sense of achievement for what had at that point been over two years work. The recognition we earned from winning was, has been and continues to be huge for us, not to mention the national recognition that we received. As you will see we proudly 'fly' the award prominently on our homepage.”
