We can’t fail to mention the new addition to our stand, inspHire’s ‘Mini Putt Competition’! The aim of the game was to putt the highest score and be in the chance of winning a brand-new Samsung Galaxy A7 tablet – a winner was announced for each day. After many entries, we were happy to announce two of our customers took the crown, having Chris Jowett from AFI Uplift win on the first day, and Andy McNulty from Elite GSS on day two.
