What Do We Supply?
We started off s pecializing in the
pr o d u ction and supply of promotional

gi fts and c orporate clothing, both

off- the-peg and bespoke manufacture.


As w e grew more and more, our clie nts started requesting

po i nt-of-sale products, such as wobb lers, pull-up banners,

ga zebos and f lags. This then grew int o general signage.


We have always had a strong design studio creating visuals

for o ur c us tomers and redrawing their logos. T he natural

pr o g r ess ion was to offer logo creation and corporate identity
do cument s .
