Positive launch for Grand Designs Live in South Africa

SOUTH AFRICA – Grand Designs Live’s first international edition, organised by Media 10, launched last month at the Coca-Cola Dome in Johannesburg.

The show attracted over 24,000 visitors over the three days, with the Grand Theatre compered by TV and radio personalities, Michelle Garforth-Venter and Jenny Crwys-Williams.

"The feedback from the visitors and exhibitors in this territory was phenomenal and has given us confidence to look at more venues for the brand," says marketing director of Media 10, Rob Nathan. "We were overwhelmed with the numbers and quality of visitors, especially as Grand Designs as a TV show has relatively a small audience in South Africa."
