What an exciting week it has been at the Cheltenham festival – Holland Cooper took the festival by storm winning best dressed stand for 2011 with a large cash prize, write up and photograph in the newspaper
We drove up from the Holland Cooper headquarters in Suffolk on the Sunday to be ready in plenty of time for set up – with a new member of the team starting and two stands to set up it was going to be hectic! The drive was straight forward and we had a nice hotel waiting for us at the other end, so we had a good night sleep ready for the antics on Monday.
Monday graced us with the sun, which was a godsend as setting up in the rain is less than desirable! The set up took longer than usual as I had to go and set up a stand at the RAC and Gareth was showing Nick ( a new member to the team) the ins and outs of setting the fabulous HC stand up. Six hours later the stand was up and I had completed a successful afternoon selling at the RAC.
Thankfully we were booked into another hotel so after a yummy Indian supper we made our way there to have an early night ready for the busy day ahead.
This was our first Festival as we normally show at the November meeting and so we were unsure what to expect – I were thrilled when hundreds of people started to pour through the doors into the race course. It was clear this is the biggest most prestigious meeting of the year. With clients coming from all over the world we had customers buying Holland Cooper from as far away as Australia. At midday we were presented with ‘best Dressed stand for 2011’ with a large cash prize and picture and write up in the newspaper. I was thrilled, it really makes all the hard work and effort in presenting the stand worth while.
Holland Coopers Twist on tweed went down a storm with our new 'Sporting Jacket's' selling out on the first day! We met some very exciting new contacts (you will have to watch this space) ..
Later on in the week we were also awarded best dressed at Cheltenham – quite a feet to win both of these in one show!! It just shows Holland Coopers style and flare cannot be copied or simulated – we are the orginal brand to take the ‘twee out of tweed.’
Overall it was a brilliant show well done to the HC Team xxx
