As we close off 2017, we are putting in place the final details for our 2018 plans – starting early in January where we are attending trade fairs in search of new and exciting products to share with our clients. We thank all our clients, suppliers and all your wonderful teams and wish all an amazing Christmas and New Year.
We are looking for a Merchandise Production Manager to drive and manage our production business unit. You will be responsible for managing day-to-day orders and the ongoing management of our existing and new supply partners.
There are thousands of standard promotional products available to choose to from – many are available in multiple colour ranges and can be decorated with your brand and message in just a couple of weeks. However, if you really want to create memorable, stand out merchandise for your brand you may want to go ‘bespoke’!

One of the key reasons many of our clients work with us is because we help them to mitigate their risk. Whether in procurement, marketing, CSR or HR, they generally all worry about brand reputation and want to do all they can to protect it. Risk, as we all know, is everywhere. As a global brand that has invested millions in building its identity and reputation, you really don’t want to see it trashed in moments on social media because corners were cut on something as manageable as product safety.
