At its annual Channel Partners Conference last week, Telstra recognised JB Hi-Fi’s strong performance in the sector, with three awards including Channel Partner of the Year.

JB Hi-Fi was awarded the 2009 Telstra Pinnacle Dealer Channel Partner of the Year, the 2009 National Media Award and the National Retail Award. David Moffatt, Telstra Consumer Group managing director, commented on the retailer’s performance.

“JB Hi-Fi was a relative newcomer to the telecommunications category and has achieved an enormous amount in 18 months as a Telstra Channel Partner,” he said.

“JB Hi-Fi has shown why it is a quality retailer with its commitment to Telstra and the category. JB Hi-Fi led the category by providing a full suite of wireless products with their outstanding performance over the last 12 months.”

According to Moffatt, JB Hi-Fi has had a strong investment in their customer experience and staff training. This has helped the company’s staff to form a deep understanding of Telstra’s core products and services on offer.

“We congratulate JB Hi-Fi and all our Award winners over the last 12 months and we look forward to serving our customers to an even higher standard in 2009, he said.
