The Cookshop has won £250 worth of stock (retail value) from the new Ashley Thomas range, launched earlier this year.

DMD’s Rob Blackburn, director of sales and sourcing told HousewaresNews.net what makes Barton Grange’s displays sensational: “The display is outstanding with a double feature at the front – utilising our crates on a plinth – and then the double trestle table and crate display.” He continues: “It is very creative to have fitted so much product on display but keep it looking so fresh and tidy.”
