The sales and marketing team were kept busy throughout the show handing out free trial tins and commencing a national 'giveaway' promotion to encourage professional decorators all across the country to put the new high performance multi-purpose primer through its paces.

To celebrate the extension of the Crown Trade 'Extreme' range everyone visiting the stand was also invited to enter a special draw to win an exciting 'Extreme Experience' - which included opportunities to try all manner of daredevil sports and activities, and a range of ‘extremely’ luxurious treats for those preferring to pamper themselves.

Once the show was over, one prize draw form was picked at random from the huge pile of entries received during the two-day event. The winner was Mr Ken Bull of D Bull Decorators in Derby who mulled over his options for a while before deciding to select a prize that he could share with his wife. Ken and Tess are now looking forward to spending a romantic day on the opulent Orient Express where they will be wined and dined, with a lavish five-course luncheon, courtesy of Crown Trade.
