Elite Custom Clothing, UK

 

Our CEO Neil Pentland and newly appointed UK & European Sales Manager, Michal Gembrowicz recently paid a visit to Elite Custom Clothing in Rushden.  Pauleen and Adam use DecoNetwork daily and we were so inspired by their success story that we wanted to share it with you.  

 

Their Story

Pauleen’s journey in garment printing started 30 years ago in college.  Her course required her to start a business and run it for six months, so she decided to try printing shirts for some of the students.  She asked the principal for permission to use the school logo and once it was approved, she had lots of requests from the students for logo emblazoned varsity jackets.  

After printing many varsity jackets for the students, she found word was quickly spreading and her customers were returning with other unique design requests.  At that time she was outsourcing the printing to another company, but she decided to try printing them herself.  Pauleen took the leap and invested in her own printing machines.   

 

The Problem

Elite Custom Clothing was growing and all the paperwork was being completed manually which was very time consuming. She started looking for a solution that would give her more time to concentrate on other aspects of running and growing her business.

 

 

The Solution

A self-confessed ‘DecoNetwork Addict’, Pauleen uses Business Hub for almost every aspect of the business, from quotes to orders to production and everything in-between.  DecoNetwork has made a huge difference in streamlining the business.  Elite Custom Clothing now employs 8 staff and they have more than 3000 customers recorded in their Business Hub.  

 

They are proud of the history behind the building they are based in as it is where George Frederick Whipple, of Rushden Engineering Co. created the first portable garage engine starter in 1922.  This important landmark is where the motor windscreen washer and the “trafficator” (motor car indicators) turnicators were invented.  This building and its history are a source of inspiration that keeps them motivated to build on their success and do great things.  We look forward to following Pauleen and Adam’s journey.
