It's That Time Of Year Again!!

A big thank you from us at shurtz to all those of you who have supported us, customers and friends alike, throughout what has been a very good 2015. Here's hoping you all have a peaceful Christmas and a prosperous New Year. It's hard to believe that shurtz is about to move into its fifth year of trading. It doesn't seem five minutes since we set up stall on Leigh Market! It's probably long overdue but credit needs to be given to Tony Richardson for his inspiration during those early days. Sadly, Tony passed away in 2013. Gone but (as anyone who knew him) definitely not forgotten!

So, never taking anything for granted and constantly looking for ways to improve the service we offer, it's onward and upward for shurtz. Thanks to you all. Steve & Lynn.

Logos & Signs Designed/Remastered Free Of Charge

Ray Nesbit and Leigh Market Hall have been synonymous for decades. And now they both have new/remastered logos.

Company & Group Logos

 

Our custom designed logos are proving increasingly popular. The photograph of the polo shirt contains a selection of real and imagined designs, most currently in use. Some are based on existing designs and others are built from the ground up. Customers tell us that they receive more enquiries and positive responses when wearing our printed garments.

Future Of Leigh Market

Some of you may have read an article in this week's Leigh Journal regarding the future of Leigh Market.

http://www.leighjournal.co.uk/news/11881474.Struggling_traders_fear_for_future_of_market/

At a meeting between Council officers and market traders to discuss a new rent billing system, much was said but sadly some of it was at the least without foundation. I have to admit to not attending the meeting so I am relying on the accuracy of the newspaper report as a basis for my comments.

One trader is alleged to have predicted the closure of Leigh Market within 6 months. Personally, I think that such a prospect is as likely as hell freezing over. By all accounts Leigh Market is performing much better than Wigan Market and the prospect of a market closure would be politically treacherous.

However, I think it is true that the Council could and should do more to promote the market and it seems that the funds to do so are available.

To the good folk of Leigh and the surrounding districts I would ask you to support your local market. Ultimately, this is the only route to its long term prosperity.

We'll Be Closed For Normal Business...

...for just under two weeks in the not too distant future. We hope that this won't cause too much inconvenience to our customers but an early break makes sense in that it will minimise disruption during our busiest period from March through to October inclusive.

Our last day of opening will be Saturday 21st. February 2015 during which we will only be taking advance orders for completion after our return. The first day back to normality will be Friday 6th. March 2015.
