A Bradford-based factor has won the top prize of a £2,000 technology bundle from original equipment (OE) manufacturer, TRICO’s, recent £20k giveaway.
Faisal Butt of Express Automotive UK Ltd, has claimed TRICO’s main prize in its giveaway, which included a TV, tablet, soundbar, Echo Dot, Beats headphones and fitness watch.
Faisal said: “I’m absolutely thrilled about winning the top prize, excited beyond words.”
As well as the £2,000 technology bundle, TRICO’s £20k giveaway included gift vouchers, hampers, hotel breaks, football shirts and TRICO stock packs, and has proved extremely popular with factors.
TRICO’s main UK and Ireland distributors took part in the promotion, including A1 Motor Stores, Autoparts Express, Carcessories, D&S Roe, EAG, Optimal UK, Pearl Products and Tetrosyl Express.
The participating distributors then gave a scratch card to their factor and retail customers with every single TRICO wiper blade sold, with Faisal receiving his scratch card through Optimal UK.
Optimal UK’s administrative assistant, Hannah Bentham, said: “Participating in the TRICO £20K giveaway has been great for us here at Optimal UK where we have seen our customers really get involved and purchase wiper blades throughout November, December and January, with many claiming prizes throughout.
“We were delighted to have given out the winning scratch card for the top prize consisting of a fantastic technology pack to Express Automotive, who is one of our loyal and valued customers.”
General manager at Optimal UK, Harry Jones, said: “I had the chance to speak with Faisal shortly after hearing about the win and he said that he was thrilled to have won the bundle and to be able to receive it as an early Christmas gift.”
TRICO’s group brand and marketing manager (Europe), Sam Robinson, said: “We were blown away by the response we had from this giveaway.
“We launched it in the middle of November and initially ran it until Christmas Eve but it was so successful we extended it into January for a bit of New Year’s cheer.
“We’re thrilled that Faisal has won this incredible prize, there’s so much good technology there that I’m sure he’ll get a lot of use out of and he seemed so pleased that he’d won our top prize.
“There are still a few prizes to be claimed, so if you want to be in with the chance to win, all you have to do is buy one of our premium quality wiper blades from our distributors, get your scratch card and cross your fingers you’ve won.”
