INDUSTRY NEWS www.images-magazine.com 12 images AUGUST 2021 Visit us on Facebook: @imagesmaguk Want to know what your industry colleagues really think of the garments and accessories they decorate? Each issue, one reader tells us why they rate a particular product Kevin Buck, owner of Peach Embroidery & Print in Worthing, West Sussex, says his favourite garment to decorate is the Pro Polo (RX101) from Pro RTX. Offered in coordinating male and female fits, the RX101 polo shirt is ideal for creating the perfect workwear uniform, says Kevin. “It’s a good all-rounder, perfectly suited for all work environments and sectors, but equally at home in the leisure market.” Available in a range of bold colours, the RX101 comes in an extensive size range from XS-8XL. The heavyweight, 220gsm polo shirt holds embroidered logos really well, adds Kevin, making it a great option for both print and embroidery. www.peachembroidery.co.uk imagesmag.uk/Readers-Choice-Peach READERS’ CHOICE Fireflux pulls no punches with new warehouse, showroom and store Fireflux has opened a new 4,000 sq ft showroom, warehouse and retail store in Burton upon Trent.
