ASOS’s international business has been growing rapidly. In June, it reported that international retail sales were up 142 per cent on the year while UK sales were up a more modest 25 per cent.
It has web sites targeting the UK, USA, France, Germany, Spain, Italy and Australia and also ships to over 190 other countries from its central distribution centre in the UK.
Allport director Clyde Buntrock said: “We are delighted to be working with one of the UK’s fastest growing and innovative brands and this business award is testament to our passion for retail supply chain management excellence.”
