Centre Stage Uniforms provide a record breaking delivery at Besses.

Centre Stage uniforms
 

On 17th January this year, Besses O' Th' Barn Band ordered new stage jackets from Centre Stage.

All the way from their specialist workshop in Hong Kong, the jackets were delivered on 27th January — a mere 10 days later, and in plenty of time for the bands performance at Brass at the Guild Hall contest on Sunday!

Full of praise

A very pleasantly surprised Besses Chairman, Matt Bailey, was full of praise for Centre Stage and comments:

"We can highly recommend Martin at Centre Stage Uniforms. We've just had some of the 'traditional' braided jackets from him, and the quality, service and turnover time from point of order were fantastic. The price is also incredible and FAR cheaper than any other supplier you'll find."

We are developing a great reputation for superb customer service and treat every order with the same diligence and urgency as the lastMD, Martin Gernon
