Since 2018, EmbroidMe Tauranga has been helping brands get noticed with customised apparel, and this year they have won their second Most Trusted Award for Uniforms and Promotional Products.

EmbroidMe Tauranga supplies and brands garments using embroidery, screen printing, vinyl heat transfer and dye sublimation techniques. They also have a large range of branded promotional products, such as pens and drinkware.

Co-owner and director Steve Smith says Most Trusted is a great way of validating their customer service focus and is a real compliment.

'For the team it also gives some recognition to them in how they've contributed to the award,” says Steve. 'We focus strongly on our Google reviews, but Most Trusted Award winners are there based on votes. ‘Best in class' is very satisfying.

Steve says if you can brand it, then they can supply it.

'Our ‘bread and butter' work is mainly in the corporate, trades and services industries but we will try and accommodate most of anything.

'With the name EmbroidMe, embroidery is obviously our main branding technique but more and more jobs involve screen printing or vinyl heat transfer, which we are equally comfortable with.”

The team of seven carry out 90 per cent of production on site, which Steve says helps to maintain high quality standards and fast turnarounds.

'We work with a wide spectrum of businesses and individuals; from corporates, trades and services to clubs, sports teams and more.

'Our whole ethos is focused on the customer and we take service very, very seriously. In just under four years we have accrued more than 120 positive Google reviews.”

This is EmbroidMe Tauranga's second Most Trusted win and the team hopes to make it three years in a row in 2022.
