Selling directly to the public is a special skill and this award is targeted at businesses of all kinds doing just that.
Likely candidates might be specialist retailers with products ordered via the internet, by post or on the phone.
Or they could equally be retailers who have found success by selling through shops, stores or other outlets.
In short we are looking for any business that has become a winner by selling people what they want, when and how they want it.
