Irish Exporter Awards

Last week we were shortlisted for an Irish Exporters Award...we didn't win but at least we got our picture taken with the lovely Maura Derrane from RTE's "Four Live". We also secured orders with the UK's largest catalogue company so things are moving very quickly.

Short Listed at Glee

Well, Glee has come and gone. The show went really well for us...we sold to a number of customers including a chain of 60 hardware stores and we have a long list of other interested retailers that we are working our way through. We were also short listed in the "New Product Awards" which was a major achievement considering the status of this international show.

Road trip...

‎3 days to go until Glee! We're leaving for Birmingham tomorrow to get set up for the new products competition on Sunday morning and then the show begins for real on Monday. If you know of anyone going to the show, tell them to come over and say hello...we are in Hall 5, Stand D70. Take a look at our website as well...we made a few small changes to it over the past few weeks.

Back to nature...

Take a look at these articles from the New York Times and the Washington Post about the move in the US to a more environmentally friendly way to dry your clothes...

5 weeks to go...

We are just 5 weeks away from exhibiting at Glee which is the UK's premier garden and outdoor living show. We have also entered the New Products competition at the show so hopefully we can follow on from last week's success!

The Clever CloseLine is launched!!

Busy weekend! Our website went live on Friday (www.clevercloseline.com) and it will be updated with more information, range of colours etc over the coming weeks.

We launched the Clever CloseLine at the Tullamore Show today and the reaction was fantastic. We had over 500 visitors to the stand and everyone who saw the line in action was blown away by the function, innovation and the price. To top it all, we won the Best Invention in our category at the show, and here's the picture to prove it!. Next stop is the Glee trade show at the Birmingham NEC in September...
