Blue Water Bridge Duty Free has added to its Frontier Best Retailer of the Year Award by scooping the top prize in the TFWA World Exhibition buyers? prize draw

Not content with winning the industry's highest accolade at Cannes last month, Blue Water Bridge Duty Free has added to its Frontier Best Retailer of the Year Award by scooping the top prize in the TFWA World Exhibition buyers' prize draw.

Vice president Tania Lee was the first name out of the hat on the last day of the show, and opted to take the Euro equivalent of a luxury Mercedes car. TRW understands the prize was donated to a good cause, although not, as rival Canadian operators speculated, the Garvin Lee Retirement Fund.

Delta Airlines project manager Garry Guzzeta will be packing his overnight bag after winning two return flights to Singapore with three nights accommodation at the Ritz-Carlton, courtesy of the Singapore Tourism Board, while Czech Airlines director Vaclav Slavicek and three guests will be mingling with the stars after receiving a ?Montee des Marches? (red carpet entrance) to the evening performance at the Cannes Film Festival 2004, provided by the City of Cannes.

For the sake of their reputations, TFWA ceo Andrew Ford refused to reveal which of the three whooped with glee as their name was called.
