Denis Wick wins prize for Export Initiative at the MIA Music Awards

Denis Wick Products has won the prestigious award for Export Initiative at the recent MIA Music Awards 2011. Denis Wick accessories are familiar to every brass player and there is hardly a band or orchestra in the world without one of the company’s mutes or mouthpieces. The Denis Wick factory in Dorset employs twenty two people and more than 80% of their products are exported to different markets all over the world.
