It has been a few years since we have ventured further north to Birmingham to attend the ever popular Printwear and Promotion Live show at the NEC. This year we attended on the opening day of the event and it did not disappoint! It was as fantastic as we had remembered from previous years. The day went far too quickly and we wished we had been able to stick around for day 2 and 3 to be able to get the most out of it. Keeping up to date with the latest products and initiatives in our industry is crucial. We are always seeking ways to improve and increase our range of services for our customers and we have certainly been inspired by what we have seen at the show. We were able to see proper demonstrations on all the machinery we had our eyes on and it was great to be able to see so many of the brands and products we supply being showcased so we can confidently make recommendations to our customers when they want us to supply garments as well as embroider or print their designs. One of our favourite parts of the day was meeting so many of our own suppliers and colleagues in the industry that we have been dealing with over the years. Too often, interactions nowadays are over the phone, email or by video call so it was lovely to meet so many in person. We have returned full of new ideas and inspiration and a renewed sense of pride for the industry we are in.
