The annual conference and awards dinner took place on Thursday 13^th June at the Arden Hotel and Leisure Club in Birmingham. As always it was a great opportunity for Hambleside to get together with other exclusive members of the PAGE Partnership to discuss new and key products for the coming year. Brian Hayward, Director of PAGE, gave an interesting talk on the latest products featured in the new catalogue at the conference. Several other speakers were also in attendance to give their views on the industry, including Gordon Glenister of the BPMA (British Promotional Merchandise Association). The Awards dinner in the evening gave an opportunity for us to network and build relationships with new and longstanding suppliers alike. Winning the Silver Award puts Hambleside Merchandise in the top five PAGE Group Distributors, a position we are proud of. Suzie Munday, Group Marketing Manager and Clare Welch, Operations Manager were presented with the award by Brian Hayward. Suzie commented, “Our dedicated team should be very proud to have won the award for the third year in a row. It’s an outstanding achievement to be celebrated and testimony to the fair and ethical way we conduct our business.” Well done Hambleside!
