Brisbane take Centre Stage in new look

The Champion Band of Australia is looking as well as playing the part for its trip to China thanks to Centre Stage Uniforms.

Despite being on the other side of the world, Centre Stage Uniforms has just completed its first major Australian order, kitting out reigning Australian National champion Brisbane Excelsior.

Top of the range

Ahead of their recent tour of China, the band wanted to present their musical talents wearing top of the range English style uniforms, and contacted Centre Stage to complete their order.

Despite a short lead time for completion, all were delivered perfectly, much to the delight of all their members.

At ease

Brisbane XLCR Chairman, Gareth Lawless told 4BR: "We considered many options when the decision was made to update our stage profile.

We considered that being 10,000 miles away from the UK may be an issue, although from the initial point of contact we felt at ease with Martin who dealt so professionally with our requirements.

As a result, we have become the first band ‘downunder’ with a fully styled traditional jacket. We are very impressed with the design and standard of what we received. Bands outside of the UK should not hesitate in dealing with Martin and Centre Stage Uniforms.

Our requirements have been fulfilled in every way."

Quality and service

Group Managing Director Martin Gernon added: “This is just another example of the quality and service that customers in the UK, Europe and now beyond, get with every order.

We are delighted to be supplying into Australia, which adds to our ever growing list of export countries as well as leading the market in the UK.”

Attention to detail

He added: “Our attention to detail, the range of options, guaranteed delivery and after sales service are just some of the many reasons that we are the number one choice for bands.

We believe no other company offers the range of colours, styles, braiding, embroidery, additions and individual detail to band uniforms in the same way we do.

Uniforms are a big investment for a band, so it’s important they make the correct choice, and that choice is Centre Stage.”
