📢 An Update from AMD Promotions

We’re now nearly one month on from formally joining the Future Excel family and we wanted to share a quick update.

From 6th April 2026, ownership of AMD Promotions transferred to Future Excel, with the business now operating as part of the wider Future Excel portfolio.

The most important thing to say is that it’s been very much business as usual.

Julian continues to run the business day to day and we’re pleased to say the same trusted relationships, service and quality that AMD Promotions is known for remain exactly the same.

👉 The only real change has been the wiring behind the scenes.

This move is about securing the longer-term future of the business while allowing us to continue supporting our clients in a flexible and sustainable way.

Thank you to all our customers, both long-standing and new, for your continued support over the past month. It’s very much appreciated.

Here’s to the next chapter for AMD Promotions 💛

🎙️ Throwback to 2025 – Print & Stitch Diaries

Last year we teamed up on a collaborative podcast, Print & Stitch Diaries, sharing the story behind our business, the journey, the challenges and everything in between.

Episode 1 takes it right back to where it all started.

It feels particularly relevant to revisit now, as AMD Promotions moves into its next chapter as part of Future Excel. A moment to reflect on how far the business has come and the foundations it’s been built on.

We’re planning to record new episodes later this year, picking up on what’s changed, what we’ve learned and what comes next. Give it a listen and let me know what you think 🎧

📅 Holiday Closure Update – AMD Promotions

Just a quick update to let everyone know that we’ll be closed from 11th May to 7th June for a break (and to celebrate a big birthday! 🎉).

All existing regular trade customers have been contacted directly, please check your emails for your print & embroidery deadlines.

If you’re a new customer, we’d recommend getting in touch as soon as possible to check availability, as we are unlikely to be able to process any new orders after 5th May 2026.

During the closure, we will have very limited access to email and responses to enquiries will be slower than usual. However, we’ll be back open and ready to go from 8th June.

Thanks, as always, for your continued support. it’s very much appreciated.

Finally, a very happy birthday to Julian Brown, we hope you enjoy your time off to celebrate your special day.

A feeling of loss and sadness combined with a feeling that after 70 years our Monarch has fulfilled her pledge to the nation and can now rest in peace with her beloved husband. RIP.

The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon.

The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow.
