Last week saw us exhibit at the Manchester leg of the Newtech Show for the very first time!

The show saw us launch our contract print and embroidery services alongside a number of the industry’s leading suppliers to garment decorators. The show took place over two days and gave our new Sales Director, Jeremy Aston-Phillips the chance to meet a number of current and prospective customers for Golden Finishes.

Exhibiting at Newtech also gave us the chance to launch several brand new Readyrange products including Blank Table-Runners, Keyrings, Armbands, Napkins, Flags and Banners.

Don’t worry if you missed us in Manchester…

We will be exhibiting our new products at the next leg of the Newtech Shows taking place in the Aztec Hotel, Bristol.

For more information on our new products visit www.ready-range.co.uk or to book a meeting with us at Newtech, Bristol get in touch via email on info@goldenfinishes.com or call 029 2074 1650.

Fancy Joining the Golden Finishes Team?

Golden Finishes has been busier than ever recently, following the successful launch of our new website and exhibiting at this year’s Printwear & Promotion.

With customer demand for our products and services on the up,  we need some help!

We’re hiring!

We are looking for someone to join our design team. You would be responsible for creating artwork/designs for our customers and machine ready files, so we really need someone with experience in embroidery software packages, other print related design software and possibly a bit of website design/build knowledge.

If you fancy working in a fast paced environment where no two days are the same? Then Golden Finishes is the place for you!

The team here are a crazy bunch, but we love what we do! (And of course we will reward you well financially).

Watch this space… We thought we would post the job opportunity on here first & foremost! The full job description and advertisement will be up and running very soon but for the first chance to apply simply email john@goldenfinishes.com to find out more!

Badges come in all different shapes, sizes and styles - embroidered, printed, woven and wire just to name a few. Our team have created badges (patches) call them what you like for all sorts of purposes. We’ve seen it all…. everything from the weird & wacky to the just plain wonderful!

And just when we thought we have seen it all, it was announced this week that Scout badges are to undergo a major revamp bringing them into 2015. Out with the old and in with the new – traditional badges such as wood-whittling, blacksmithery and much more are no more. The introduction of up to 250 new badges for activities such as computing, photography, philanthropy will make the traditionalists gasp…. but we are naturally biased always looking for new designs for badges.

This story got us thinking, being self-confessed ‘Badgeaholics’ we are keen to see badges being worn wherever we turn – which sadly is not the case anymore. Badges commonly mark achievements & rewards and we just want people to show off their success (and, of course their badges).

Despite textile businesses using a more modern approach to textiles & design seeking innovative ways to stand out from the crowd and create the latest trend, we believe there will always be a place for badges. Badges bring a sense of sentiment, tradition & heritage – there is normally more to a badge than it being simply a badge. It marks an event, a memory, or an achievement of yours…

The times may be changing, but we are not! We aim to provide customers the same high-quality badges we have been producing for over the last 25 years using our same traditional approaches.

For more information on badges and how we can help you create the perfect badge for you just get in touch on sales@goldenfinishes.com or call 029 2074 1650 today!
