A year or so ago Rob Elkington said “We should win an award, go out and find an award we can win”. It’s taken a while and we still haven’t made it but just before The Cleansing Of Constance Brown opened were runners up to the Midland World Trade Forum Exporter Of The Year.

The awards evening was a Black Tie Do at Millennium Point. I ran from rehearsals to join Charlotte M and Ana just as the meal started. It was an unusual context for us, but fascinating. We were very pleased with our award, not least because it came with a bottle of champagne to pop on opening night.

Fair play to Hygan Products, they shift a lot of industrial sponge overseas, worthy winners.
