Exchange Communications Whitburn has announced a supply agreement made with Centre Stage Uniforms for the exclusive supply of all uniforms and stand banners to the band.

Re-branding

As part of the new sponsorship arrangements with Exchange Communications, the band is undergoing a full re-branding exercise over the next 12 months.

Opportunity

Band president, David Kinross told 4BR: "We see our sponsorship agreement as an opportunity to review how we present ourselves on and off stage.

In order to do this we needed a partner for all our uniform and livery requirements and met with Martin at Centre Stage and were impressed with how easily he identified our needs and matched them with his products and services."

Centre Stage

He added: "The decision to make Centre Stage our exclusive supplier for these products was an easy one and the band now look forward to a long a mutually beneficial relationship with the company."

To have a band such as Whitburn, hold us in high esteem, is very flattering and we are delighted to have been appointed as the exclusive supplier of uniformsMartin Gernon, Centre Stage

Martin added: "The company ethos of high quality products at very competitive pricing, backed up by first class customer service is at the forefront of our dealings, and we are honoured that this has been recognised by Whitburn and look forward to a long association with them."
