Only ‘the best’ will do for William Turner


Leading UK corporate and club wear manufacturer William Turner & Son has recently invested in upgrading its embroidery machinery, with Stocks Sewing Machines and ZSK providing the perfect solution...


8 head ZSK drop table was chosen as their preferred industrial machine to get the job done. Acquiring this new machine through


Stocks Sewing Machines Ltd was an obvious choice, as John explains their existing relationship with the Leeds- based distributor had always done them proud. Said John: “Having made the decision to invest in ZSK machines we were very happy when Stocks took on the UK distribution. We have worked with Andrew Stocks for over 10 years to provide and maintain our sewing machines and are very happy with this partnership.”


Efficient John is delighted with the recent


addition to their growing ZSK portfolio – the new machine takes them to six ZSK machines with 45 heads in total. By using one main manufacturer he explains that they can be more efficient in their operations due to the speed of their internal training and the flexibility to move machinists between machines. This has been enhanced further by the


service received from Stocks; the new machine was fully operational within 24 hours of delivery and has been in constant use ever since. The company is now working on


networking all their machines to give quicker access to the current version of over 8,000 designs. So Stocks is the UK distributor for the


sought-after ZSK machines, and we know they deliver excellence when it comes to installation, but what happens post-sale? John explains that its actually what


happens next that really makes Stocks stand out: “To maintain our production levels in the factories we simply have to have the best machinery support – that is


what Stocks provide.” n For more information contact Stocks Sewing Machines Ltd on 0113 242 9378, email admin@stocks.co.uk, or visit the websites at www.stocks.co.uk or www.embroiderymachinery.co.uk
