Subjet UK Display Ban updates from Canada
[am the Viee resident of Solutions Display Corp. in Canada and we have
been very involved in dsply ban sctivtes in Canada and have been
approached by an orgaiztion called ASH in the UK. My company has
received numerous enguiies from retailers inthe UK about a display ban
‘olution provided by us Our soltion involves the iting of ps that,
an open and close to open shelf ganties. These enquires have followed
‘laims by the UK Departmen of Health and Action on Smoking and Health that
‘we had quoted £120 fora display ban solution for small shops. Let me
Clarify forall oF you what we sad to the UK authorities
|. We quoted £200 (nt £120) forthe materials necessary to fit standard
sonal gantry, based on «minimum purchase of 1500 stores
2. We were asked to quote fora temporary solution and so the £200
‘elaes to solution that would suit most stores for 310 6 months. Due
to the frequeney of oping and closing a robaceo unit, wear and tear would
require them to be repced after that
‘3. This bu purchase quote doesnot nce the cst of shipping,
installation or specific changes o sic and dimensions.
|Wehave made ASH aware ofthese points so presumably the misperception that
we ean ffer a display ban solution for £120 to smal etailers wil be
Aipelled by them sheet. We would be happy to speak with you futher, of
‘with your trade organizations if tha would help to se about moving
forward with a project that could bring the above temporary solution ora
permanent display solution to your shops inthe near future.
‘ave attached a copy ofmy correspondence with Deborah Amot of ASH for
our use o beter understand the communication from Canada and hope this,
allows everyone to understand the est associated with display ans in
‘our county. Fel fee w contact me anytime via thee" mail adress or
