We’re not claiming to be Lockdown experts here, but having come through the first week of this strange, challenging situation, here are a few things we have picked up along the way that have helped us to get through the week and face the next with a little more positivity.

What is it about personalisation that makes it so popular? Serious question! You even get your name on your coffee cups at Starbucks these days!

Be honest…how many of us have had a cupboard full of plastic bags that we swear we will remember to take with us on our next trip to the supermarket, but have ended up forgetting and been inexorably lured into buying yet another bigger, stronger, re-usable one with fancy prints?

We understand that for schools, choosing a school uniform supplier is not a decision that is made lightly.

One of the highlights of the last year for the team at SpeedStitch was the excitement of our small, family-run embroidery and print business being nominated for a small business award and ultimately winning The Legacy Award for Best Family Business at The Small Awards 2018.

Before joining the family business in 2016, I spent a year and a half planning our wedding. In the process, I followed so many social media pages boasting top tips and ideas for wedding planning and I signed up to so many updates on the latest products and services rocking the nuptials world.

While the Christmas season is generally the busiest time of year for retailers, for the team here at SpeedStitch, we are just about recovering from our crazy Back2School season!

Lord Sugar’s 70th Birthday gave us much to celebrate here at SpeedStitch. On Wednesday 1st November, we had our 60 seconds of fame on Episode 5 of this years The Apprentice on BBC One.

Winter Workwear Wardrobes may be the last thing on our minds as we struggle to let go of the summer months, but with the darker evenings setting in and the notable drop in temperatures, now is a good time to get prepared for the long winter months ahead.

As Back2School Season 2017 draws to a close, school uniform suppliers everywhere are making every effort to ensure any last-minute orders are fulfilled, that shelves and rails are sufficiently restocked and that plans are in place for a much-needed battery recharge in the not too distant future!

It’s almost that time of year again where schools are winding down and parents are beginning to wonder how they will keep their children entertained for the 6 week summer break!

With an ever-increasing demand for transparency in terms of ethical policies from the global consumer, businesses are under intensifying pressure to ensure their overall business ethos conforms.
