Scottish Decorators' Federation Annual Convention
 
Artex recently exhibited at the Scottish Decorators' Federation Convention 2009 at the Dunblane Hydro on the 26th - 28th March.  Attended by approximately 200 SDF members, the show was a huge success and allowed Artex to continue to build on the already strong relationships with SDF members. A big thanks goes out to all those who visited the two Artex stands and the great feedback received.
 
Contractors got a chance to see the entire range of Tetrion products as well as take away samples of the key Homecare products in the range. At the SpeedTape stand, there were SpeedTape PRO and Power Sander PRO demonstrations and Artex unveiled their latest innovation, the fantastic Gyproc Plasterboard patches.
 
During the show, a flyer and a banner were produced advertising an incorrect SpeedTape PRO kit. Unfortunately, the product was advertised at the wrong price. We would like to make clear that the prices for the two SpeedTape Kits are as follows:-
 
SpeedTape PRO Premium Set - £1,750*
SpeedTape PRO Premium Finishers' Set - £950*
 
*Available while stocks last.
 
Artex would like to apologise for any confusion that this may have caused.
