Give and take at Home Hardware show

The draw held at last month’s Home Hardware Southwest’s spring trade show in Exeter raised £500 for Children’s Hospice South West.

First prize in the draw, an iPod, was won by Judith Franklin from W Frost & Co of Bridport.

Meanwhile, EPE International won Best Display Stand, earning director Noel Pamment a cash prize of £100 and a framed certificate. The judges agreed that the stand had good all-round visual impact, with excellent colour coordination, well-lit products and good use of point-of-sale material. Runner-up for the title, Horwood, received £50.

In all, 131 exhibitors attended the show.
