Celeste Halliday of Broome, WA signage company BK Signs and Promotions is the lucky winner of Print21’s PacPrint Escape trip for two to this month’s big trade show in Melbourne.
“It's a dream come true and came as a big shock," says Celeste. "I feel honoured to have won as I never win anything. It’s an amazing prize. We are so stoked.”
Celeste and husband Brent Halliday, who run the business together, will now get to celebrate their fifth wedding anniversary during PacPrint, where they’ll enjoy three nights at the Hilton and attend the National Print Awards.
"I've never been to Melbourne so it's very exciting. We were hoping to go to the show but with running the business and having kids, we doubted it would be possible. But now we've arranged for my eldest daughter to stay with a friend for three nights and our youngest is excited because she will get to stay with her Nana in Perth.
"We've been really busy with the business and we're looking to grow so we're very eager to see all the latest technology on offer at PacPrint and talk to people about the best signage options for us."
Fortunately, the prize includes two return flights; otherwise, the 4,991km road trip from Broome to Melbourne on National Highway 1 would take an estimated 54 hours.
