A local independent Southport business is sharing the love this February by giving away dozens of specially created tote bags.

The bags have been designed by the team at KC Workwear in Birkdale, and feature a cute cartoon reel and in ink bottle, along with the words ‘KC Workwear – support your local print studio’.

The family-run firm is giving the bags away with every order made this month.

Customers are welcome to send pictures of themselves with their bags to KC Workwear, or to post them online and tag KC Workwear in their posts on social media.

The new tote bags are being given to people by Managing Director Clive Lord; Production Manager Zoe Thorpe; Print Technician Lauren Larkin; and Graphic Designer Amy Brooks, who designed the bags.

Zoe Thorpe said: “This February we are delighted to be giving away a free KC Workwear tote bag with every order we receive.

“They have been designed by Amy. She created a similar design for a work outfit and we had people messaging us to say that they loved her design.

“We are so glad to have Amy as our Graphic Designer as her skills have been greatly appreciated by many of our customers. She has created some amazing designs for the promotion of their company brands. 

“We thought we would create a special KC Workwear tote bag, and give them away to say thank you to our customers as a special February offer.

“We have had lots of lovely comments from people so far. People really love the bags.

“You see people walking around town carrying bags from the big supermarkets.

“But if people are walking around town carrying bags with our name on them, then it goes a small way to getting the name out there for a family-run Southport business.”

KC Workwear is a long established local enterprise in Southport, having operated for nearly two decades from its premises on Liverpool Road in Birkdale.

Managing Director Clive Lord said: “We have been in business for 18 years, and have been based in Birkdale for the past 16 years.

“We mainly create workwear and embroidery but also create a wide range of products that our customers ask us for.

“We have recently invested significantly in new machinery that can produce more items even faster than we could before.

“We have built our reputation mainly through word of mouth and recommendations. We are trying to grow awareness now to let more people know about what we offer.”
