School Uniform for 2020-2021
Our uniform suppliers have asked us to pass on this message:
We have been busy adding all the schools we supply to our website, so all parents can now order their back to school uniform online with home delivery. Our head office and factory is still currently closed, but we’d like to encourage parents to get their order in sooner rather than later to help slow the back to school rush. We hope to return to work from the 18th May, when we will begin shipping our online orders.
Parents can find their schools online shop by using this link – https://www.border-embroideries.co.uk/schools. Please could you help us promote our online service to parents who wouldn’t usually buy their uniform online so everyone is made aware they can still get it whilst schools and our 6 retail stores are temporarily closed. Our online cut off date for guaranteed back to school delivery is the 20th July 2020.
We hope all staff and pupils are staying safe and healthy during this difficult time. If you have any queries at all, please get in touch with us via email info@border-embroideries.co.uk
