Win a Fitbit Charge 2
with Mabanaft
M
abanaft is looking forward to attending FPS EXPO on the
10th/11th May at the Exhibition Centre in Liverpool.
As is customary, and to inject a bit of fun into the
proceedings, the company will be holding a competition on their stand.
This year, visitors can compete for the chance to win a Fitbit ® Charge
2 – Fitbit’s number 1 selling fitness wristband.
“FPS EXPO provides the perfect opportunity for us to meet and catch
up with customers and suppliers from around the UK,” said marketing
manager Martin Cook
“This year we will be telling people about some exciting new
developments on Mabalive. Our aim is to make Mabalive a central
data hub that allows customers to access their trading account and
proactively manage their deal administration online. In effect, they will
be able to view live pricing, place an order, and then track the deal from
lifting at the terminal through to final invoicing.
“Our last competition went down really well so we’re doing
something similar this year. In line with our theme of tracking, we think a
Fitbit® activity tracker will make a perfect prize.”
To take part in the competition visit Mabanaft (stand number
91/92) where a member of their team will take your details and record
your top score. Competitors will receive a fabulous Tile Mate Bluetooth
tracker as a thank you for taking part.
The competition closes at 1.30pm with the winner announced at
2.00pm on Thursday 11th May – the last day of the show.

efficiency plus Grant’s state of the art design, means I will notice
