A new adventure for Johnsons.
I am extremely pleased to announce that Johnsons Printwear & Embroidery is up and running.
We have all the latest machines, software and everything is made in house.
As you can see below we are able to produce almost anything on a garment, for any occasion.
We are recognised suppliers for St Edwards, Orchard and Hemington schools. We are working hard to supply the college too.
We will very soon have samples of all the schools uniform in all sizes to try on, order and collect from another independent business on Borough street. it will be a comfortable and welcoming environment where you can simply walk in and try before you buy. We are here to make your life easier, simpler and more affordable.
More information will follow soon.
