GORENJE OFFERS RETRO PRIZE FOR SUMMER FAIR

GORENJE OFFERS RETRO PRIZE FOR SUMMER FAIR

Gorenje, the Slovenian manufacturer famed for its creative and innovative appliances, donated one of its popular Retro fridge freezers as a prize at the Piccadilly Garden Summer Fair in Lancashire.

The Burgundy Retro, donated on behalf of Gorenje by Morecambe retailer Homesmakers 1st Stop, was the first prize in a raffle at the fair, which was held in Piccadilly, Lancaster. The money raised was for Piccadilly Support Services, a community based organisation that offers support for people with learning difficulties and helps them to develop life skills through activities mainly based around horticulture.

Ruth Ferguson, Gorenje’s Marketing Manager, says: “We were pleased to be able to support such a good cause, and thank Homemakers 1st Stop for presenting the Retro at the fair on our behalf. We have been told that the Retro was a very popular prize, greatly increasing the number of tickets sold, which is an excellent result for Piccadilly Support Services. Congratulations to the winner Teez Richmond!”
