On Thursday 14 May, Mercure Brandon hall near Coventry played host to Time Inc’s 20th annual Shooting Industry Awards. Nearly 130 representatives from the industry attended.
Seeland International won two awards. Simon Esnouf and Ewen Steel said, “These awards are a tribute to the hard work and dedication of the design and production teams in Denmark, and our sales and marketing effort in the UK.” The only other company to win more than one award was Browning International.
