European, global associations honour leader

John Herbert, general secretary of the European DIY Retail Association (EDRA) and the Global Home Improvement Network (GHIN), was honoured with the Global DIY-Lifetime Achievement Award at the international associations’ Global DIY Summit, held in Copenhagen, Denmark, last week. Herbert (shown at right, with Hardlines’ own Michael McLarney), built GHIN to be an umbrella association linking major home improvement retailers worldwide. He is also co-founder and chairman of the Global DIY Summit.

At a gala dinner that followed day one of the summit, Herbert received his award in front of 900 delegates from around the globe, who gave him an enthusiastic standing ovation.
