Shop Idol 2022

Our annual search for the UK’s best mobile phone salesperson was a little different this year after spliting 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 12 finalists, with the top six each receiving a Samsung S22, as well as being invited to the Mobile Industry Awards 2022 with all travel and accommodation expenses paid.

The two winners of the 2022 Shop Idol competition also received a huge Samsung tech bundle worth over £2,500.

Congratulations to Haseeb and to all our 2022 Shop Idol finalists!
