Shop Idol 2023
Our annual search for the UK’s best mobile phone salesperson was once again split into two fields – one for Retail, and one for Contact Centres.
After a lengthy search, our judges whittled down the biggest ever Shop Idol entry list to our finalists.
Each year, hundreds of entrants from every major retailer take part in the biggest contest of its kind, facing our esteemed panel of judges to win the top prize. This year, over 50 hours of judging grilled our candidats with interviews, challenges to determine product knowledge, customer service skills and of course, sales power!
Thanks to our partner Samsung Backstage, a selection of amazing prizes were awarded to our winners, who each received a huge Samsung tech bundle worth over £2,300 including a Galaxy Z Flip5, Galaxy Tab S9, Galaxy Watch6 and Galaxy Buds2 Pro.
Congratulations to Rhydian and to all our 2023 Shop Idol finalists!
