Westpoint announces 25th birthday giveaway winner

Westpoint Exeter’s celebrations for their silver anniversary year culminated with the 25 Days of Christmas Competition offering their social media followers festive giveaways in the run-up to Christmas.

Just last week they announced the winner of their top prize, a breathtaking balloon flight for two, Jenn Whitehorn from Newton Abbot.

Kindly donated by Aerosaurus Balloons, the top prize offers the chance to see the rolling hills and dramatic cliffs of Devon from the skies in a once in a lifetime flight. Westpoint Exeter's Event Manager, Sarah Toms and Business Manger, Emily Egan presented the prize to Ms Whitehorn this week.

Delighted to win the prize, Ms Whitehorn will be enjoying the trip with her mum in memory of her grandmother who had always wanted to ride in a hot air balloon but never had the chance as she recently passed away.

Westpoint Exeter's 25 Days of Christmas giveaway offered social media followers the chance to win a prize each day in the run up to Christmas, and the team worked with many local retailers and event venues including Devon County Show, Exeter Golf & Country Club Spa, Deer Park Hotel and Marco's Exeter. The competition received over 650 entries and reached over 20,000 individuals via social media.

Sarah Toms, who masterminded the giveaway, commented: “We wanted to end our silver jubilee year with a big thank you to all those who have engaged and supported us over the years.

Seeing Jenn’s excitement at winning the balloon flight and hearing her story really makes this giveaway competition worthwhile. We all really hope that Jenn and her mum enjoy their flight.”
