Indigo is proud to supply Modec with smart, embroidered polo shirts for their staff uniform. Modec are an amazing company as they make cool looking, environmentally friendly vans, and with a top speed of 50mph, these are certainly no milk floats! Their website states:
The Modec range is possibly the greatest leap forward in commercial vehicles since the internal combustion engine. Quiet, pollution free and with a carrying capacity to put most others in the shade, the Modec range is the future of urban delivery. Developing an impressive 102bhp and 300Nm of torque, Modec vans can carry two tonnes up to one hundred miles at fifty miles an hour with zero emissions… all from a single charge.
Modec have also taken a order of vans from supermarket giant, Tesco, to deliver Tesco goods to their dot com customers. As Londoners, we think their product is a great idea, as anything that reduces pollution in the city can only be a good thing.
This came through today. Makes us feel kind of warm and fuzzy:
Hi Victoria and Eleni,
Just a belated thank you for getting the rugby shirts done on time and delivered early, which was a huge relief to all of us!
All the choir members were delighted with the fit and good quality of the shirts and we all wore them with pride to the Choir of the Year Adult Finals in Cardiff on November 11th. Take a look on our website as there’s a great photo of our inaugural outing in them at the bottom of the welcome page: www.chantage.org
They certainly helped with a feeling of team spirit on the day and it was great to see some of our supporters wearing them, especially when we were announced as winners of the competition!
We’ll be going down to Cardiff for the Grand Final on the 10th December but highlights of both finals will be on BBC4 on 16th December and they filmed us a lot in our shirts so you may see them on TV!
I’ve got a number of supporters who’ve requested shirts so I will be in touch fairly soon with another order, but wanted to thank you now for all your help.
Best wishes,
Alex.
Choir Manager - Chantage Limited.
Every winter, Innocent, one of Indigo’s clients, raise money for charities that help elderly people stay warm during the winter by having a ‘Supergran’ knitting contest. They knit lots of little woolly hats and stick them on their smoothie bottles. For each behatted bottle sold, 50p is donated to their chosen charity Age Concern. Their Supergran2006 Flickr group shows the hats and the knitters in all their glory.You can help too - just knit hats and send them in. More details at: http://www.innocentdrinks.co.uk/supergranThe hats in the photo above were knitted by Jo’s friend Celia, whilst the smoothies and other goodies were a prize at the Indigo party last month.
The testimonials page on Indigo Clothing has just been updated with some of the feedback we received this summer. Normally I am wary of testimonials in business literature, they seem so fake, like someone in the marketing department wandered over to the copywriter, saw they were far too busy and asked the office junior to have a crack at some self-aggrandising rubbish. Well, I can gladly say ours are the genuine article complete with typos, bizarre formatting and the frequent misspelling of Essi and Eleni’s names! Check them out as we are quite proud of them (if we do say so ourselves)!
At the end of the day the nice comments and feedback are what makes us get up in the morning.
Apologies for the lack of posts recently but September has been a mighty busy month and is showing no signs of cooling down yet, both outside in London and here in the Indigo office.
September is traditionally one of the busiest months in the promotions calender. It is the start of a new advertising quarter, schools, universities and colleges are back and office workers are back at their desks after sunning themselves on some Greek isle, etc. We have been doing some jobs for some cool clients, including the Cuckoo Club, the ultra-trendy night spot in the West End, Philips Electronics, Rolls-Royce and Royal Bank of Scotland as well as promotional merchandise for Close Investments.
In September we also sadly said goodbye to Michael Wallace (Mikey) who has gone back to his home country of Ireland to carry on with his studies. It is an understatement to say he will be sorely missed and Eleni is still pining after her ‘wingman‘. I first met Michael in April this year (2006). He was in fact an estate agent that was showing me around potential new office space for Indigo. Mikey was the nicest esate agent I’d ever met and unlike most others also seemed not to have over greased, spikey hair and an ego larger than the M25. He had a rubbish set of properties to show me around but he did so with enthusiasm and without being pushy. When I got back to the office I told Jo I didn’t have much luck with the office space but may have found the perfect new Client Services Team member. She shot me one of those looks that normally means, ‘I think you are nuts but who am I to argue, it is your funeral’. That week I emailed Michael thanking him for showing me around and asked him if he would like to apply for the vacant position we were advertising on our jobs page. The rest is history, so they say, and on this occasion, I am glad Jo was proved wrong, as Mikey was fantastic at the job and equally as much fun in the bar with a pint in hand after work.
Today I am meant to be at the National Incentive Show but as usual and for the third year running I won’t be able to make it as the organisers fail to grasp that September is such a busy month. We love being busy by the way, keep it coming!
A nice email and photo came in today:
Hi Jo,I don’t know if you remember, but you supplied me with some clothing for a girl guide trip I was running to Egypt at the beginning of July. We added our own badges but the clothing was perfect! I thought you might like to see how good we looked!
Thanks again,
Helen
Nice to get this email today from a happy client so we thought we´d share it:

I received my t-shirt order this morning (ref:FLPE5540).
I am just emailing to say the t-shirts look great, and to say thank you for
all you help with the order. Throughout the whole process your company were
extremely helpful and understanding, especially when designs kept being
altered. My thanks especially to Eleni, Jo and Alex.
We look forward to doing business with you again in the future.
Many thanks,

Big Brother is gripping the nation again (yet we do all seem to prefer Chris Moyles on Celebrity X-Factor!). As you can see from the Big Brother suppliers page, Indigo have supplied Stedman t-shirts for the housemates! These are great t-shirts for the price to weight ratio and we are looking forward to seeing them on Channel 4 sometime soon.
Patrick Muirhead is a great client of ours. Who is this Patrick I can hear you ask? If your a Brit, you are bound to know him as an established voice of the BBC shipping forcast, a programme that has a great affection in the hearts of Radio 4 listeners.
Patrick has a gentleman’s clothing shop in Midhurst, West Sussex and Indigo supply some of his clothing (particulary Front Row and Slazenger apparel). We also sow-in his neck labels, of which he has a great close up photo on his site.
