This year’s Searchlight Christmas competition was another big success with customers.
The latest competition, which was published in the new issue of our newsletter (which you can read here) took the form of a tricky seasonal crossword.
Our lucky winner was Laura Jeffs of Wolverhampton firm Dallow and Dallow. Laura won a £250 gift hamper, which was delivered by our sales manager, Peter Lambert.
