The finder of the winning balloon received a £25.00 Amazon voucher.
Dobbs said: “The competition was a bit of fun to highlight the new product, feedback from customers who have already installed it has been overwhelming. The main benefit, they say, comes from their sales team being in an informed position and having the information they need, when they are out on the road dealing with customers.“
