Corporate uniform supplier secures funding
ONLINE wholesale and personalised clothing supplier Quayside Group has tripled the size of its Manchester premises and secured a six-figure funding package for further growth.
The business, which employs 28 staff, supplies businesses including the BBC, Selfridges, Skype and Google with corporate uniforms.
Warehousing and production space has increased from 5,000 to 15,000 sq ft at Quayside’s two sites in Trafford Park, which is also the location of the firm’s head office.
The new funding, provided by Yorkshire Bank’s Business & Private Banking Centre in Manchester, will be used to purchase advanced print and embroidery equipment.
Michael Conway, managing director at Quayside, said: “This investment will enable us to stay ahead of the rapidly increasing demand for our uniform and event clothing service, as well as providing market-leading speed of delivery and quality of garments.”
Mark Preston, business development partner at Yorkshire Bank in Manchester, said: “Quayside has a proven track record of sound financial management, quality products, and operational efficiency which sends out very positive signals regarding future growth.”
