Cheers To Progressive Gifts’ 25th Anniversary

 

An unexpected surprise gift for some 35 exhibitors at Home & Gift in Harrogate last week was a very special, commemorative bottle of bubbly, courtesy of Progressive Gifts & Home, to celebrate the magazine’s milestone 25thsilver anniversary.

Each bottle had a specially printed label featuring the words: “Thanks for being part of our 25 year vintage!”

“The champagne was a huge ‘thank you’ to the companies who have supported Progressive Gifts from the very first issue in July 1998, with gift including Joe Davies and Heart of the Country,” explained Progressive Gifts & Home’s advertisement manager Angie Bryant. “We also wanted to say a big ‘thank you’ to all the companies who supported our July/August special 25thanniversary edition of the magazine.”

Commenting, Steve Davies, managing director of Joe Davies, said he was thrilled to receive his bottle of bubbly. “We were featured in the very first issue of the magazine 25 years ago, and have supported Progressive Gifts & Home ever since,” he told GiftsandHome.net.

Also delighted with her bottle of bubbly was Gisela Graham, whose eponymous company is currently celebrating 35 years. “What a lovely surprise!” she enthused. “Congratulations to Progressive Gifts on the magazine’s 25thmilestone year.”
