I am absolutely delighted to have Cords and Covers featured in the Press and Journal, one of North East Scotlands most well known media outlets.

A huge thank you to Sean McAngus at the Press and Journal for taking the time to share my story and shine a light on my business.

And, of course, a massive thank you to all my wonderful customers. Your support, orders, recommendations, likes, shares are what keep Cords & Covers going! I genuinely couldn’t do it without you so thank you!

Unfortunately, there is a premium blocker on the article online, however, I managed to get a copy and picture the article.

A new service from Cords & Covers…

I’ve recently started offering pipe bands a simple, hassle-free way to manage their embroidered clothing — and I’m looking to work with more bands.

The idea is straightforward.

Your band chooses Cords & Covers, and I take care of the rest.

I can set your band up with a dedicated online ordering link, where your members can order their own clothing in the sizes they need. I then take care of the ordering, embroidery and preparation, so there’s no need for someone in the band to collect orders, chase payments, sort sizes or organise everything themselves.

So less admin...more band-min!

👕 Polos
🧥 Hoodies & Zip Hoodies
🧥 Fleeces & Softshells
🧢 Beanies
…and more can be added to your band’s range.

I’m only just getting this side of the business started, so I’m looking to build relationships with bands who would like to give it a try.

If you’re involved with a pipe band and think this could make life a little easier, drop me a message. I’d be happy to have a chat and explain how it works.

It’s a service I’m building specifically with pipe bands in mind, alongside the bagpipe covers and other products I already make.

Simple and hassle free.

Finishing off a busy week, I have to share this stunning white with gold braid banner. If truth be told, it’s the first white banner I’ve ever made and it’s amazing!!

The biggest challenge I found with this was keeping it clean during the manufacturing process.

Plain colour double sided embroidered banners are available on my website to purchase at www.cordsandcovers.com/shop for only £95.

Everything is made to order at my workshop in 13 Harrow Inn Close, Elgin, Scotland…feel free to pop in and visit if local or visiting the area.

Don’t forget our new clothing range which is also available on our website at www.cordsandcovers.com/clothing Items are also available to view in store.

Another busy week next week in preparation for the World Pipe Band Championships and I look forward to sharing some fantastic pieces as I work towards supporting some of the bands that will be competing and preparing some bespoke tailor made items for some solo pipers.

Have a great weekend everyone.
