The goods were shipped out in mid-May and this was the clients response.......
" Hi Nancy, I can't tell you how pleased I was to see the finished jackets. They are great. I issued them to half the crew today and everyone was thrilled. You've done a great job! Now we need six more... and trousers and the scarves! ...So twelve scarves and six more jackets and a dozen pairs of trousers by the end of June... is it possible? You're my hero.
Regards
Mike Dalton
