At Home Hardware’s Autumn Trade Show on Tuesday, September 19, DMD was voted the ‘Best Display Stand’, earning key accounts manager Rachel Procter and head of sales Rob Blackburn a cash prize of £100 and a glass trophy. Minky (Robert Winstanley) received the runners up prize of £50.

The awards were judged by an independent panel and presented by Home Hardware chairman David Adams, who said: “DMD have an extremely eye-catching stand. Their products are very well merchandised and the judges liked the use of themed fireside props to emphasise the products”.
