Congratulations to Scott Cooper from Luton who was selected as the winner of a holiday of a lifetime to Las Vegas, courtesy of Glidden Trade.
Scott was the third monthly winner of the Glidden Trade 'Colourful Knowledge' quiz - a competition which ran across six issues of Professional Builder - and was selected at random from a grand prize draw into which he was entered along with five other monthly winners of the competition. Scott's fantastic prize included return flights and accommodation for two people, plus £500 spending money.
Speaking on his return to the UK, Scott said: "I still can't believe I've been to Las Vegas! You see it in so many films, so being there in the flesh is a completely surreal experience. We were almost worried that if we slept we'd miss something.
"We decided to treat ourselves with the spending money and took a champagne helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon. We thought Las Vegas was vast, but it was nothing compared to the scale of the Grand Canyon, and actually flying inside it was unbelievable!
"The whole trip was an unforgettable experience and an amazing early Christmas present. In fact, we are already thinking about going back - we can't wait!"
Scott is well established in the industry and has been a professional decorator for 20 years. For the past 15 years, Scott has worked for his brother Gary at his decorating company G. Cooper, and has been involved in a number of exciting jobs including a project at Buckingham Palace.
The Glidden Trade 'Colourful Knowledge' quiz was exclusive to Professional Builder and celebrated the launch of the new Glidden Trade Colour card. Since its launch the new, simplified colour card has become a popular tool with professional painters as it features a selection of colours that work well on different areas including trim, feature walls and other walls.
