As HEXIS is a French company proudly producing all our vinyl in 2 production facilities in France we last week celebrated Bastille Day. (National holiday in France commemorating the anniversary of the fall of the Bastille prison and marking the beginning of the French Revolution on 14/7/1789). HEXIS SAS France also celebrated its 36th anniversary having commenced business on the 17th of July 1989 in Frontignan on the southeast coast of France.

During the entire week all purchases with us received entries into our daily draws with multiple customers receiving small tool packs and gifts. On Friday we held our final draw for the week and Creative Signworx Queensland took out the major prize of a custom HEXIS Energy drink bar fridge with Marwell Engineering in Melbourne taking 2nd prize of 3 imported French wines and a “bubbly” Veuve Clicquot. The wines are from an annual special selection made by Michel Mateu (founder of Hexis) from wineries in the south of France and packaged as part of HEXIS traditional Xmas gifts. There were 3 minor prize winners all receiving a pack of HEXIS Energy Drink to help keep refreshed in their busy weeks ahead.

We also took the opportunity to share some croissants and pastries with clients throughout the week, our MD Ian Parsonson claimed that the Baker D North, a small patisserie in Townsville Qld run by Dimitri Pittion, a graduate of the National Institute of Boulangerie Patisserie in France, had the best pastries of the week shared with the team at Predator Signs Townsville. “Tout simplement superbe!”

Overall, the week was a bit of fun and a great opportunity to share in the pride of being a part of the HEXIS group and their passion for “Made in France”. It was great to get out with clients all week and see projects coming together, talk about what they had coming up and getting to know what they needed. Our biggest satisfaction came from positive feedback on our service and product support and delivery.

National Sales Director, Lee Farrell says “we were very happy with the response from everyone and something we will look to make a tradition here every year, the chance to involve a little of the French culture, keep it fun and interact with our customer base and some new clients was rewarding for all. Très rafraichissant!”
