Centre Stage Uniforms is excited to announce a brand new division of the company – Centre Stage Casuals.

Casuals

Centre Stage Casuals is a range of polo shirts, golf shirts, t-shirts, reversible fleeces, hoodies, sweatshirts, rugby shirts and other exciting products, all of which can be individually tailored to any bands requirements.

Collaboration

The division came about as a collaboration between Centre Stage and Kroake, who have a great business in these products, and the range will be exclusively distributed by Centre Stage Uniforms and Kroake.

This is a range put together by bandsmen, for bandsmen at prices that bands can afford. It's a great combinationLloyd Shipp

Blackpool launch

The range will be launched this weekend at the Spring Festival in Blackpool.

Commenting on this new range, Centre Stage MD Martin Gernon told 4BR: "To enter into this new division with such professional people as Kroake is an honour for our company.

Great combination

Kroake MD Lloyd Shipp and I have been in bands all our lives. This is a range put together by bandsmen, for bandsmen at prices that bands can afford. It's a great combination."

Lloyd Shipp is equally upbeat: "In a short period of time, Centre Stage Uniforms is the name on every bands lips. Their reputation is fantastic. To combine our expertise, product range and service with theirs is a win-win combination and gives bands a total one stop shop for all their needs. We are looking forward to a great partnership with Centre Stage."
