BTC Activewear C4
BTC activewear has recognised a considerable opportunity for
workwear, both for restaurant/bar staff and for tradesmen, such as
builders, plumbers and electricians. To cater for this the company is
offering a number of new iconic workwear brands for 2009 including
Snickers, Caterpillar, Mascot, Kelly Hansen and Panoply. In addition
BTC Activewear will be running the entire Kustom Kit collection
including all of its new BarGear range. As a consequence the
company believes its now has the most comprehensive workwear
collection available in the industry.
BTC activewear was the first and believes it is still the largest
UK distributor of both Fruit of the Loom and Gildan, and again offers
the entire collections for 2009. The Stormtech range of technically
advanced jackets has also grown considerably for 2009: alongside
Regatta and Result, BTC activewear offers probably the best
selection of outerwear in the industry. And there’s no brand more
iconic than Nike, heading up the new Golf section alongside a much
increased GameGear range within the sports section.
Promotional garments haven’t been forgotten either, with many
new additions to the T-shirt, polo and sweatshirt ranges including
new face Fanshirt – as well as an increased line-up of bags from
Shugon and headwear from Result.
