Our very own Sarah and Mandy (above) are exhibiting at the Ideal Home Show as of today, when the show opens. They are on a stand called Product Concept, so watch out for them if you happen to be at the show. The ladies, as well as being one of our creative teams, are inventors, and have ventured into the dinnerware market with their new product TEMPlate.

TEMPlate is a temperature-controlled ceramic dinner plate that, following removal from the oven or microwave, remains cool to the touch around the rim and underside, whilst heating quickly in the centre to keep food hotter for longer. They now have UK and PCT patents on TEMPlate and have been approached by a number of major hoenwares companies who are interested in producing it.

The purpose of the Ideal Home Show exhibit is to encourage people to vote for their favourite product idea. The winner gets £2000 to invest in the idea. Please help M&S by sparing a couple of seconds to go to this link and clicking on ‘vote’ under theirr product. (It’s the one at the very bottom of the page.)
