Thrusting export sales

A 118-room, 4* hotel in Bruges, Belgium, is the latest export destination for a British-made bathroom accessory from Surrey-based R & D Marketing. Their demista™ heated mirror pads are incorporated into bathroom mirrors installed in 118 guest rooms at the Grand Hotel Casselbergh, Bruges – which is made up of three old Bruges mansions with a new wing at the back. The installation was by Belgian hotel supplier VDB Productions.

Exports now make up around 60% of demista™ sales, say R & D owners, Ruth and David Perl.

demista™ heated mirror pads keep mirrors free of condensation, however steamy the bathroom.
