Leighmans.com – the independent promotional gift specialist – was last week crowned winner of Business North West’s prestigious Lions’ Lair competition.

The challenge saw a number of business owners and entrepreneurs pitch their products in a Dragons’ Den-style competition, to a panel of the North West’s leading business experts.

First time exhibitor and managing director of Leighmans Darren Leigh, delivered a smooth pitch on his company’s range of innovative gifts and gadgets, which was a roaring success with the judges. The panel was particularly impressed with Darren’s dynamic demonstration of the latest in touchscreen technology – adhesive strips that allow consumers to use touchscreen devices while wearing gloves.

The iPrints devices are already attracting serious attention from the business community, especially commuters and individuals on-the-go. The stickers are one of many unique and distinctive product lines offered by Leighmans. 

Leighmans founder Darren Leigh, commented: “Taking part in Lions’ Lair provided us with a great opportunity to showcase the effectiveness of our products and the depth of our knowledge of the promotional gifts industry. Being crowned the winner was the icing on the cake!”

Bury-based Leighmans provides a variety of high-end gifts and gadgets for a wide range of clients, including major blue-chip companies such as Deutsche Bank.
