Back in March 2016, Gina Everett asked us if we'd be happy to lend her two of our rustic wooden crates for her exhibition stand - read on, and you'll see why we were happy to give them to her.

Gina runs her own interior design business - Create Perfect - and had booked a space at Grand Designs Live at Excel in London. The theme of her stand design was 'Inspired by Famous Places That Never Existed - The Secret Garden' and she need two of our crates as part of the design.

We were happy to send them to Gina ready for the show, which started on Saturday 30th April, finishing on Sunday 8th May - for anyone who's worked at an exhibition before, that's a very tiring 9 days, especially with the build and dismantling days to take into account too!

However, the show was great success for Gina and for Chalkboards UK. The stand carried a graphic with all of the participating companies highlighted, plus Gina very kindly told everyone who asked where she got her rustic wooden crates from.

Gina's now taken the crates to her new home and will be sending us some pics of where they've ended up when it's been refurbished - designed by Gina no doubt!

We had a great response to the April #ChalkPics competition, with 20 new pics of our products being use all over the country.

These are all now on our social media channels and some have made it onto the website too. The winner is Nemo Promotions who sent in these great pics of our clipboards printed up with the Gordon's Gin logo.

Well done to Nemo Promotions and thank you to everyone who took the time to send in pics.

Keep watching this space - there'll be more competitions throughout the year.

Throughout March we ran the 'Find the Easter Bunny' competition. We didn't make it too difficult as we hid him with the Rabbit Shaped Chalkboard!

We had lots of entries and picked Sarah at Print Data Solutions out of the hat as the winner. Congratulations Sarah, your £50 Amazon Voucher will be with you soon.

Keep watching this space - we'll be announcing the April competition early next week - but here's a clue, keep sending those pictures in of our chalkboards!
