Suits you Sir!

Two successful brass band traders certainly enjoyed themselves in Butlins on the weekend...

Two of the most successful brass band traders recently enjoyed themselves at the Butlins Mineworkers Championship in Skegness.

Ev-entz & YLH

Ev-entz and Your Logo Here had busy weekends in the main traders area, meeting and welcoming new and existing customers — although they still managed to find out a little more about each other too!

Ev-entz owner Adrian Evans and YLH Managing Director Lloyd Shipp even tried out each other’s products — much to their mutual delight, with Lloyd picking up valuable tips on percussion, and as you can see, Adrian adding to his wardrobe!

Excellent

“We thoroughly enjoy coming to Butlins,” Lloyd told 4BR. “The organisation is excellent and we get to meet so many of our customers with time to really go through their needs.

It’s also a very successful weekend too — with lots of bands wanting to be kitted out by Your Logo Here. They can see our products and try them on — and the quality and the price sells it to them.

Meeting up with Adrian and his guys was great fun — and what a company they are. You can see why they are also so successful — their attention to detail and customer service was brilliant.”

Worth our while

Adrian thanked Lloyd: “Like Lloyd, we make the trip because it is always worth our while. We have the room to display our products and to ensure that we are able to link up directly with our partners in Pearl Drums and Majestic Percussion — both of whom made a real impression with our customers this year.

That’s the key — meeting and talking, explaining and advising. It’s something our customers expect and respect from us.

It was also great to meet up with Lloyd and to find out more about YLH. They obviously care so much about their customers and their products — although I don’t quite know if I could get away with wearing the jacket at home!”
