PAGE announce the Distributor and Supplier of the Year

The PAGE Catalogue Group annual conference and dinner was held at the Arden Hotel, NEC on 11th June.

At the dinner, attended by 150 distributors and suppliers, George Hayward of PAGE announced the Supplier of the Year Awards.  Silver Awards went to Global Ideas, PF Concept, Fanela, and Senator Pens.  The Gold Award went to Impressions Europe.

Whilst there is only 1 distributor award, special mention went to BH1 Promotions, EH Advertising, Hambleside Business Gift Solutions and Merchandise Mania.  However the supreme Gold Award Distributor of the Year Award was presented to Lloyd Simpson of LSi.

Serious discussion and networking continued in the bar until 5.30am.  Following a slightly later than usual breakfast, 40 intrepid drivers met at the Go-Karting track for a team Grand Prix.  Amazingly, there were no serious crashes or injuries, so the industry remains intact.  The winning team was Terri Baker (Pen Warehouse), Chris Witt (BH1 Promotions), Stuart Warne (Newell Rubbermaid) and Gordon Glenister (BPMA).

8 more sensible delegates played in a small golf tournament at the Warwickshire Golf Course.  Duncan Weister (DHJ Weisters Ltd), playing off 4, was holding a good lead until Robin Lyon-Smith (The Purple Company) sneaked up on the rails and just pipped him at the post.
