Budget plan success for Centre Stage

The launch of the new budget range at the Spring Festival has been a great success for Centre Stage Uniforms.

Centre Stage
  Centre Stage Uniforms' new range has been a great success

Centre Stage Uniforms has reported a fantastic response to the launch at the Spring Festival in Blackpool last weekend of their new budget range of uniforms and casual ware.

Quality

Customers old and new not only loved the quality, but also the price, according to MD Martin Gernon, with over 20 requests for further quotations and samples.

"The last few weeks have been particularly hectic with one of the busiest periods in the company's history. We were delighted that the recent orders from bands such as Co-operative Funeralcare (North West), EYMS and Whitburn all looked incredible on the bands on Saturday, but equally delighted in the response to the budget range.

This ensures that for bands all over the world we now have ranges to suit every pocket, and can be a true 'one stop shop' for all uniform, stand banner and percussion items."

Success

He added: "Coupled with our renowned customer service, there is no reason for any band, in any part of the world, to look any further than us.

We know money is hard earned by bands and they should spend it wisely — and our success with bands proves it."
