Abacus Careerwear : About us

“The new uniform has been accepted well by everyone involved in
the global trial. Staff feel smart and comfortable, and customers have complimented staff on their new appearance. We look forward to rolling out the new uniforms to all Clarks’ stores in early 2005.”

"Dear Marta,
I am very pleased with the progress of the roll out and even more delighted with the excellent response the new uniform is getting from the store teams, our customers and from everyone here in Head Office. The quality of our previous uniform has always been excellent but the stitching, detail and presentation of the new uniform is even better and we have all been very impressed with the production samples and the bulk.

Post roll-out, your stock call-off by return has worked extremely well for us despite our large seasonal demands. Keith's proposal to achieve this same high level of service of lowering rolling warehouse stock levels is an excellent one and will benefit us both. I look forward to working with him to achieve this. I expect to have news shortly on progress at our end to link all our stores direct to you via email. This will give us a further advantage in speeding up the order process.

Please thank your team for their hard work through this rollout. This must be a particularly busy time for them, but as always, they have been extremely helpful, friendly and responsive. Furthermore, I am more than happy for you to use this letter as a reference to show any of your potential customers in the future."

"Avenance and Marta Marachi fell in love as companies: In Marta we have found a professional corporate wear company who truly value their customers and can develop and grow with us."

"Hi Marta,
In reply to our conversation at the Avenance Chef of The Year Competition at the Reebok stadium last week you asked me to give you my thoughts on the new Avenance Chefs Jacket. I found the jacket not only very stylish but also extremely comfortable to wear. The press stud buttons are also a must meaning no lost buttons. My wife says that it is very easy to wash and iron especially when she does 5 sets of whites a week. I myself am chairman of the Avenance chefs' forum for Scotland and will be recommending the new jackets to all our chefs in Scotland."
Regards,

"The response to the uniform has been very good and to my surprise I have not had hordes of ladies complaining about the ironing. People think it looks very smart and professional. Thank you for your advice and guidance, people have said it is the best uniform they have ever had."

"We decided to review our uniform suppliers during 2003 and were impressed by Marta Marachi and the ideas that she presented. Although we chose not to completely re-vamp our uniforms we have changed our polo shirts and are very impressed with the quality of the garment and the after sales support"
