| Last week, the Merchandise Team and I attended Merchandise World – which is our Annual industry event that’s teamed with the British Promotional Merchandise Association’s (BPMA) gala dinner.
This massive 2 Day Trade Show is held at the CBS Arena in Coventry and is a great way to catch up with our supply chain (even though we speak to them day in day out!), see brand new products, meet new contacts, as well as spotting colour additions and spin offs of many best-selling items that we’ll begin to showcase in the months ahead. Following Day 1 of Merchandise World, the whole industry gathered for a snazzy (and fizzy) award ceremony and gala dinner … and as the BPMA put it – it set the stage for a night to remember. |

| After celebrating the Supplier section of the awards, the hosts began to announce the Distributor winners (that’s our category) … and as they captured the moment so well, I’ll again quote the BPMA … ‘The final award of the evening, Distributor of the Year (£10m+) saw finalists eagerly awaiting the big reveal. 4imprint took the crown, earning a standing ovation to close out the evening in style’. | ||

| I think these last couple of photos totally capture how delighted the Merchandise Team were – look at those smiles – to be able to bring the Top Award back to Manchester on behalf of the whole team. | ||

| Thanks to everyone who voted for us, we’re thrilled, delighted and very thankful for your support. | ||
