Zip HydroTap causes a riot at Equinox Melbourne!

Monday, 19 April 2010

Zip HydroTap, jelly shots and 125 years of history at Equinox Interiors Melbourne!

Hosted by AIS and sponsored by Zip Heaters, this year's Melbourne Equinox Interiors was an elegant & intimate evening in the Grand Ballroom of Melbourne's famous Windsor Hotel.

Rather than follow a separate theme, the event organisers scheduled Equinox to coincide with the Windsor's 125th birthday! Still in original condition and immaculately "Victorian" throughout, Melbourne's oldest hotel actually predates many other grand hotels of the Victorian era, including The Savoy, London (1889), The Plaza, New York, (1894), The Waldorf Astoria, New York (1894), the Hotel Ritz, Paris (1898) and Raffles, Singapore (1887).

Exclusively for Interior Designers and Interior Specifiers, this year's event was attended by Zip Director George Crouch, Victorian State Sales Manager Rod Lister and Specification Manager Vanessa Beever (pictured below, right). Says Vanessa,

"Of the 280 people in the gorgeous Windsor ballroom that evening, almost all were Directors or senior Architects & Interior Designers from the top Victorian agencies. It was an excellent group of people - definitely the best show I've done"

"What I really noticed was the reaction to Zip's water-saving Touch Free Washroom range: 'WOW - that's fantastic' was what most people said. They know Zip as number one Boiling Water brand, makers of the Zip HydroTap; but this was a nice surprise"

For fun, the day before the event, Vanessa had taken some jelly mix and vodka (how much vodka she's not prepared to say!) to the Zip Headquarters in Burwood and made up jelly shots for the event.

"It's become a Zip tradition at Equinox - they're delicious, they pack a wallop and I have to say they were enjoyed by attendees this year - in some cases a little too enthusiastically!

"The jelly shots were just for fun but they highlight the point that Zip HydroTap is great at work and at home - and not just for tea and coffee! Food preparation is a breeze with HydroTap"
