Westminster and CPL Distribution win SOLEX Awards


CPL Distribution won the Best New Product award and Westminster clinched the Best Stand accolade at SOLEX...

Under the Supagrill brand, CPL Distribution won the Best New Product award with their innovative Pod Kettle Barbecue. Created from heat proof and water resistant material, this barbeque allows the user to enjoy the beauty and strength of shaped ceramic stone without struggling with the weight.

Independent judge Jackie Norton, programme director for3D design at Birmingham City University, said the Pod Kettle Barbecue really stood out and she was impressed by the depth of knowledge from the CPL team.

"This is a really innovative product, and it works on so many levels," added Jackie. 

Chris Foy, from CPL Distribution, admitted to being shocked at winning the award. 

"We were hopeful when the judge came over but couldn't have expected the outcome because there are so many good products at the show. It's exciting and really good news., especially as this is our first SOLEX."



Westminster won the Best Stand award because it was very fresh and inviting, said Jackie. 

"The stand was not overly dressed, and was set out in such a way that the products looked great."

Director Neil Richardson said he was surprised but very happy. "Our aim was to provide a stand that showed the products off in their best light."

The awards were presented to the winners by LOFA chairman Paul Bevington.
