September 2006 saw the 2nd PDM show at the Telford International Centre. HBC took a stand at the show and exhibited its new advertising campaigntheme based around the improvement and nurturing of supplier customer relationships.On our stand we ran a competition open to all attendees at the show challenging their skills to manoeuvre a remote control fork lift (a miniature!) around a stylised mini factory picking up and off-loading mini pallets.  We had many entrants and much interest and after three days of stiff competition the lucky winner was selected randomly from a hat.  The prize was a fantastic 50 MPH nitro charged model Subaru Imprezza rally car and this was awarded to Ian Mutton, product manager Klaxon Controls who kindly travelled to HBC to collect his prize. 'Its nice to win' Ian told us, ' .and on closer inspection of HBC's set up and plant I am thoroughly impressed with their professional approach'

This appearance at PDM was the HBC's first major outing to a show in some years, and the sales team are really looking forward to assessing the benefits over the coming months of all of the contacts we made.
