The store won the Leading Edge Electronics Member of the Year for 2024 at the Leading Edge Electronics Conference on the Gold Coast on Thursday night.
Wired manager Matthew Purtill said it was a surprise to be nominated as one of the company’s best member stores, let alone to win the headline award.
“They don’t tell anyone who the nominees will be until the night, so we only found out when they put up the three finalists,” Mr Purtill said.
“And then they told us we’d won.
“I went up (on stage) with a big shocked look on my face to accept the award.”
Mr Purtill said the store was selected for the award based on the store’s performance, and for what it does in giving back to the community.
“It is nice to be recognised,” he said.
“They told us it was a combination of our store, our performance, the promotions and the giveaways we did, especially around Christmas, with local charities.”
