Proud to support British Manufacturing

by richard cattel • 12 Jun, 2020
At unprecedented times such as these, all of us here at Marsh Mill are very proud that we continue to support Bristish industry. We still source our materials from traditional mills here in the UK and we really believe our quality fabrics are one of the main reasons our customers return year on year for their printed tablecloths and printed tablerunners. Once the fabric is cut/sewn/hemmed, it is ready for printing inhouse here on our premises in rural Shropshire. We can print pretty much anything you want as you will be talking to the very people that will be seeing your job through from start to finish. So you want something a bit different? A larger logo printed tablecloth? Multi coloured logo printed tablerunner? No problem! You are cutting out the middle man and going straight to source so prices are more competitive. What's not to like? For all your open day promotional tablecloths, tablerunners, display banners, desktop displays, contact us today to see what we can do for you. info@marshmill.com
