People coming to the show are in for some fantastic surprises. We intend to fully live up to Black and Decker’s reputation as an innovator and to create an interactive and experiential journey with the brand,” says Mayan Desai, Trade Marketing Manager of Stanley Black & Decker Southern Africa. “We have recently repositioned Black and Decker as a brand for the home due to its rich and varied product offering so the partnership with Grand Designs is a perfect fit,” Desai says.
