Last week, we attended the BPMA Awards: an annual celebration of the promotional merchandise industry, hosted by the British Promotional Merchandise Association (BPMA).
With more than 500 guests gathered in a fabulous venue, it was a night of glitz, glamour and celebration as distributors and suppliers raised a glass or two to toast the industry.
