Door Industry Journal - Spring 2017

Bobby Davro livens up DHF’s 2017 Gala Dinner event! The Door and Hardware Federation’s popular gala dinner, took place at The Belfry on Friday 3rd March. The event provided members, their partners and guests with the opportunity to get together for an evening of socialising, networking and fun, with comedian, Bobby Davro on hand to keep the atmosphere light. It’s the first time that DHF has held a gala dinner since its successful event in 2014. Back by popular demand, Friday’s black tie event welcomed more than 200 guests for a champagne and canapé reception, and delicious four course meal at the Warwick Suite in one of the UK’s most recognised venues. The event was sponsored by Robust UK, GFA UK Ltd, Novoferm UK Ltd, The Door Industry Journal, SWS UK Ltd and Beeline Promotional Products. In addition to Bobby Davro, who delighted the audience with his very special brand of humour, guests danced the night away to popular Midlands radio DJ Ian ‘Chilly’ Chilvers, with many continuing the party at The Belfry’s on-site club, ‘Bel-Air’. Enabling companies from all industries with the opportunity to enjoy the company of fellow DHF members and their guests, the event, which was another sell-out success, is key in bringing together business associates and DHF members in an informal setting, as DHF’s Chief Executive, Bob Perry explains: “This year’s gala dinner was a tremendous success and once again, highlights the importance in coming together to celebrate the current successes across the industries we represent. We would very much like to thank all of our generous sponsors, without whom the evening would not have taken place; and of course, all of those who attended. We look forward to a successful year ahead.” THE door industry journal spring 2017 Also online at: www.dijonline.co.uk 27 industry news
