Members and Suppliers of the Ignite Group gathered at Warwick Racecourse on October 2nd for their annual Exhibition and race day.

90 people enjoyed yet another superb event. Once again they were blessed with a beautiful sunny day. The exhibition began early at 9.15 with a table top exhibition of 40 Supplier companies in a permanent marquee. Distributors arrived early from all over the country.

At 1.30 they moved to a private suite in the main stand with a splendid view over the racecourse for a three course buffet lunch and an open bar. Seating was inside the suite and outside on a large balcony overlooking the winning post.

The first race proved a winner for two Members taking a mighty lump of cash from the bookies!

Ignite sponsored the third race and the trophy was presented by Susanne Langley from Juniper Trading. As well the fact it was Susanne’s birthday, all were delighted to see the return to full health of her husband Andrew.

At the end of the race meeting, many Suppliers and Members made the short walk to the town centre to continue the party. Amazingly for October, we were still all sitting outside at 10.30.

Richard Pettinger from Ignite commented: “I am so grateful to our wonderful Suppliers for their support of this day and of the group in general. I would also like to thank our Members who turned out in numbers from as far afield as Edinburgh and Cornwall. The venue has already been booked for next year, Thursday October 1st.”

Just a few comments from those who attended…..

‘Thanks for great day yesterday, as always highly enjoyable to meet up with fellow Distributors & Suppliers and a fun night had by all. We do work in a great Industry!’
Denise Broom – MD Broom Incentives

‘A good day was had by all at Warwick. With fine weather driving proceedings, the event had the perfect backdrop for both networking and losing money! From a personal perspective, it was great to see Andrew (Langley) on form and well and truly ‘back in the saddle. Congrats to both Andrew and Suzanne…the day was definitely theirs….’
Andrew Hill – MD Senator Pens Ltd

‘Fantastic well organised day. A great opportunity to meet lots of good suppliers and fellow industry colleagues’.
Theresa Holland – Director Elevation Promotions

‘Yet another fantastic day (and night)! Good business and good fun – my favourite trade do of the year! The timing of the show allows us to be able to present our Ignite items and some of our new 2015 range and then to relax in great company at a great venue.’
Andrew Williams – Director Pencom

“Thanks for a great catalogue launch on the 2nd, the new catalogue is in a league of its own and the suppliers were all extremely informative about their products. The master class on Umbrellas that Simon Bakewell gave to our apprentice left me astounded, who said you can’t teach an old bird new tricks? Then the win on the first race left me speechless! We can’t wait for next year, M-four Promotions love being part of the Ignite Group and value the support and efforts put in by you all.”
Judith Tinker – MD M-Four Promotions
