They did it! Proving that they are the third best visual merchandisers in the UK! Here are Hannah Cook and Polly Crane receiving their bronze medal from the Queen of Shops herself, Mary Portas.
Both studying for a BA in Fashion Promotion at the University of Glamorgan, they competed against other teams from across the UK at the SkillVM Final in London. Under the full gaze of thousands of retail industry insiders, the competition saw them building their full-scale window in four hours and with a budget of just £200.
Hannah said “to be one of the top three teams of student visual merchandisers in the UK feels amazing. I am extremely proud and it is such a valuable experience and one that I will certainly remember. It is a fantastic end to our first year at university.”
Polly added “the pressure of performing in front of a big live audience was challenging – but the adrenalin rush was fantastic. All of our hard work and passion has been recognised by industry experts and that is out of this world!”
Well done both. We are really pleased for you!
