Very helpful staff.
After a mixture of emails and phone calls to clarify the details of the t shirts, Carl worked his socks of to turn the order around in double quick time and meet a very tight deadline - Well done to all involved the shirts went down a storm at the school leaving party and everyone was very happy with the quality. Fantastic job
sweatshirts looked great and the children were delighted with them! I'd echo the comment from another purchaser though that the sizing is quite small so I'm glad we went for the larger sizes.
