Centre Stage gain Euro stamp of quality

Centre Stage certainly made an impression at the recent European Championships in Oostende.

Brighouse
  Brighouse players certainly looked the part on and off stage in Oostende.

Needing new polo shirts for their recent European Championships appearance in Oostende, English champion Brighouse & Rastrick certainly knew who to turn to in a hurry.

Excellent service

A band spokesman told 4BR: "Centre Stage already undertake all our formal uniform requirements, so it was a natural to ask them to produce our commemorative polo shirts for the event.

Even though we only gave a short lead time, Martin and his team provided their usual excellent service and we were delighted with the quality and price, as always."

Brilliant advertisement

MD Martin Gernon added: "It was a pleasure to be able to provide Brighouse & Rastrick with their polo shirts for such a high profile event.

They also provided us with a brilliant advertisement for our products as we enjoyed a great weekend meeting new customers from around Europe."
