3000 and counting for Centre Stage

Centre Stage Uniforms have just notched up its 3,000 order — with some significant landmarks to come on the horizon.

Centre Stage
 

Centre Stage Uniforms has just completed its 3,000th order since starting up in business five years ago.

The uniform manufacturer now enjoys a global profile at all levels of the banding — from the UK to Australia, USA to Japan, and thanks according to MD Martin Gernon to their renowned level of expertise, quality, customer service and value for money.

Honoured

He told 4BR: "From humble beginnings five years ago we have grown into the market leading company in the UK for all uniform and livery items.

We are honoured that bands from training and youth level to the most famous elite bands come to us to meet their needs.

We still got the same buzz with our 3000th order as we did with our very first, as we know bands trust us with their valuable, hard-earned money.

You don't get to produce order after order after order in those circumstances unless you can provide a service that is second to none. Bands have confidence in us — and that is something we never take for granted."

Bandroom visits

Martin added: "From day one we have always undertaken bandroom visits — first to measure and then to deliver and ensure 100% satisfaction in the process.

Our personal service has given us a very loyal customer base that is increasing by the week — all over the world."

Even better value for money

Martin also revealed that recent major orders have come from Europe, Australia, New Zealand and the USA, whilst the recent Brexit vote has made his company's exports even better value for money!

"Our next step is the opening of our Swiss company — Centre Stage Switzerland, which will be up and running within the next two months.

This is an exciting development — not just with our uniform arm, but also with our superb percussion equipment. New websites for the UK businesses will also be coming on stream in the near future and we shall announce these in due course.

I'm confident that our next landmark of 10,000 orders is already on the horizon!"
