And the Winner is...
Written by Tom Cash, December 2nd 2020
Time is up, the competition is closed and the results are in — our 2020 sticker competition has come to an end.
With the drama of the Coronavirus, Brexit and the US presidential election essentially hijacking 2020, the camaraderie of this year's competition has been a welcome break for many.
Thank you! I had such fun making it 📸 I’ve had to self shield since March so this gave me a great opportunity to do something creative and get out of my own head for a bit.

We may not have any chestnuts to roast on our Burley fire but we have a Kristofferson!

PS: Don't panic this is an LED light effect in the stove as we would never subject our @foxmere Kristofferson to naked flames. #ukmfg #foxmerestickercompetition #Stickers pic.twitter.com/3ysqAKrmCI
All-in-all, this year's sticker competition has been another resounding success, full of energy, hijinks and banter.
With so many creative and funny entries to choose from, picking a winner has been tough but, without any further ado, we're delighted to reveal that the winner of our 2020 sticker competition is...
AE AEROSPACE!
Thank you to Jamie and the team at AE Aerospace — you have really made us laugh and we have really enjoyed your commitment. You are now the owner of this cordless Makita coffee machine and some coveted Foxmere Technologies merch.
We will also be sending a luxury Christmas food hamper and some Foxmere Technologies swag to Neil Hussey and Sally Bailey.
Not only are Neil and, his partner in crime, Sally great friends of Foxmere Technologies but they have both been particularly excellent during this competition, drumming up hype and generally making us smile every day.
@foxmere how about this one? This is a naughty fox, it's been messing around and got itself in a bit of a pickle 🦊🥒😉#foxmerestickercompetition pic.twitter.com/pHlc9ZhOQz

Forgive the fox chasing a flamingo, Kristofferson has already eaten the chicken, the duck & the vinegar-free pickle 🤣 pic.twitter.com/HvevRUH1M0
