CROWN PAINTS PUTS 3-D COLOUR ON THE WALL FOR WIGAN DECORATOR

Memories of the 2011 National Painting & Decorating Show may be fading for some people who visited the Ricoh Arena last November, but Wigan decorator Michael Cleaver of Highfield Decorators now has a permanent reminder of his visit in the shape of a brand new 42" 3D Plasma TV.

It was Michael’s very first visit to the Show and he was keen to visit all the main exhibitors’ stands including stand number 26, where Crown Paints was promoting its key professional coating brands – Crown Trade, Sandtex Trade, Sadolin and Macpherson - alongside its national Crown Decorating Centres network.

About to leave the stand he was encouraged by a Crown Paints member of staff to enter a special prize draw, and thinking no more about it, he had the barcode on his visitor badge scanned so his details could be entered.

Several weeks later Michael received a letter out of the blue to say he had won the star prize in the draw, a Panasonic 3D Plasma TV, and that Crown Paints was keen to present it to him.

As Highfield Decorators is a longstanding customer of the Crown Decorating Centre in Caroline Street in Wigan town centre, Crown Paints sent Senior Brand Manager Debbie Orr to the store to meet and congratulate Michael and to hand over his prize.  

“I couldn’t believe it when I heard my name had been drawn,” said Michael, “I’ve never won anything in my life. You always think that it will be someone else who strikes lucky, but this time round it was my turn. I’ve got three kids and can never get to watch what I want on TV.....now, with this fantastic HD plasma screen there’ll be no arguments!” 

Debbie Orr said, “We always like to run a special competition or prize draw for those who take the time to come and talk to us at the Show. We’re delighted that the TV went to Michael, whose company regularly uses our products and has a very longstanding relationship with Crown Decorating Centres.

“We’ll be back at the Show this November so make sure you come and see us there. You never know....like Michael you might find it more rewarding that you expected!”
