We got lots of quote requests and some strong leads to follow up and it raised interest in Remarkable.” The two stands which stood out were The Bizz Badge Company and Keramikos who were awarded Best Stand and Best Shell Scheme respectively. The winner of the online pairs game on the show website was also announced on the day, Danny Holmes from High Profile took home the iPod Touch after completing the game in just 25.6 seconds!
