LIVERPOOL, England - Nice ‘n' Naughty has been short-listed in the top five for the Best Retailer Oscar in Great Britain for the 2008 Erotic Trade Only Awards, along with Ann Summers and Private shops.
The awards are voted on by members of the industry.
"It's been a tough, challenging year for Nice ‘n' Naughty, but we've lost none of our appetite for success," company Director Simon Prescott said. "That's why we want the ‘retailer of the year' award for an unprecedented four years running."
"The hardworking retail team at Nice ‘n' Naughty deserves recognition of their efforts, and it would keep team morale up knowing their peers have voted for them," Retail Director Trish Murray added.
Nice ‘n' Naughty also has been nominated for Best R18 DVD Wholesaler of the Year and, in partnership with Wicked Pictures, Best Overseas Film Brand. In 2005, the company expanded into the U.K. and Ireland softcore and hardcore DVD wholesale market.
"We're delighted to be chosen as a finalist, as we are a relative newcomer to wholesale distribution," Prescott said.
NiceNNaughty.co.uk has been short-listed for Best Retail Website. The recognition delighted Bruce Hamilton of the consulting company Hexed. He recently signed a three-year contract to grow and develop the site.
"Nice ‘n' Naughty are a great team, and I believe we can work together to create the best online shopping experience available for all their customers," Hamilton said.
Since July 1999, when Nice ‘n' Naughty opened its first store in Chester, the company has expanded to 11 stores. Nice ‘n' Naughty is the only adult store accredited with the prestigious Investor in People Award.
The ETO Show is a trade event that brings together about 80 of the biggest names in the adult industry to conduct business at the National Exhibition Centre.
