American Trading Company's Parasolar Parasols grabbed Gold in this sector for the smashing IP55-rated radiant quartz outdoor heaters and lights within a parasol. Electrically operated, these parasols which are said to stand up to force 7 gales, were seen to have many advantages over gas versions.
The judges said: "Gas canisters can be dangerous." "No chance of fuel running out." "Also great for concierges and door staff."
