ADI Expo Features Big Ticket Winner

October 1, 2004
The ADI Expo “Big Ticket” Sweepstakes winner, Patrick Murray, poses with his dad Ray Murray and John Sullivan, ADI’s vice president of sales (left to right).
ADI announced that Patrick Murray, president of Murrco Inc., Winfield, Illinois, is the first winner of the ADI Expo “Big Ticket” Sweepstakes. Murray won two tickets to Games 1 and 2 of baseball’s Fall Classic, which includes airfare, car rental and hotel accommodations.

“I just couldn’t believe that I won. I was floored,” Murray explained. “I’m usually not that lucky in these types of sweepstakes. This was a great idea ADI had and it’s going to be an awesome trip. Winning this shows there’s hope for the little guy – good things can happen to the little guys in this industry.”

The sweepstakes entry forms – filled out by dealers who visited an ADI Expo from February 26 through June 29, were entered into the Fall Classic drawing. ADI customers who will be attending an Expo from July 8 through December 9 will be eligible to win two game tickets, transportation and accommodations to the ultimate football game in January. “Every year we go to the Expo, and I personally enjoy the face-to-face meetings with the manufacturers,” Murray said. “We see the latest technology and really benefit from the experience.”

The ADI Expo program is in its 11th year and has expanded to 39 locations throughout North America. These one-day events offer valuable training, important product introductions and face-to-face interactions with manufacturers. With more than 105 locations in the U.S., Canada, Puerto Rico and Mexico, ADI is one of North America’s largest wholesale distributors of security and low-voltage products.
