The private reception was held in recognition and honour of a small select band of businessmen and women who are seen to be true entrepreneurs and innovators in their markets both at home and abroad. Gordon Brown pledged support for the “culture of ideas and innovation” in the UK, during this reception for entrepreneurs. Simon Pomeroy; “ It was obviously a real honour to be invited to this prestigious event and even more so as the only angling company in attendance. All of us at Pallatrax have always known the value of our unique Stonze weights, along with the thousands of anglers that use them around the world, and to get this kind of recognition and praise at such a high level is a moment to be proud of.” “I have to admit the whole event was totally surreal; one minute I was walking through the famous black door and the next moment I was shaking hands with the Prime Minister. I was also very pleased to be able to get the chance to speak with James Cann of Dragons Den fame, who complimented me on the simplicity of the Stonze. Needless to say he, along with Lord Mandelson, are now proud owners of Stonze weights!”
