Premier Designs Devoted

What happened? Is Premier Designs closing its doors?

Unfortunately, yes, on December 31st, 2020. Here is a bit of information from Tim Horner.

Since 1985, Premier Designs has honored its founding purpose by serving others and enriching lives. My parents, Andy and Joan Horner, founded this company with people as their most important asset. Their deep Christian faith demanded of them honesty and integrity in all of their decisions. They truly built a company that honored God and served people for 35 years.

During these past few years there have been many changes in the business world. We have worked hard to adjust to those disruptions. We have tried many things in recent years but nothing has allowed us to regain momentum and growth. As a result, we are unable to continue business as usual beyond December 31, 2020. This is a most difficult decision. It makes us very sad but it is obvious that now is the time.

Even as difficult as this is, we have nothing but thankfulness to God for all He has done through Premier/DVTD. So many of you have served and worked for years in Premier. You have done your part to make Premier a blessing to thousands of others. The events and retreats and trips were all the results of your caring work. The Premier family is truly one of a kind. The charities and missions giving of over $120 million was not possible without you. We will be forever grateful. I hope your life has been touched and enriched as much as mine.

We were also excited about DVTD, and its potential to expand our reach and our mission. Unfortunately, while the excitement has been shared by so many of you, the results have fallen well short of what is required for us to sustain as a business moving forward.

The links in this email provide details about what this means for you, your team of Affiliates and your Customers.

While it is normal to feel sad about this decision in the moment, we must not lose sight of what God has done through this company since 1985. It is truly remarkable, and its impact will live on through eternity. The Lord put Premier in the heart of my parents, but He accomplished the mission and purpose through all of you! To God be the Glory!

With thankfulness,

Tim Horner
President, Premier Designs/DVTD
