RETIREMENT

Geoff Berry

After 40 years overseas it is time to hang up his tape measure. Geoff’s era with the export team is coming to an end and retires the end of May. I would like to say from all of us Thank you Geoff and we wish you all the best for the time after Alex.

The lads got together and got something for Geoff to remember his "time" with us.

Geoff would like to "Thank" all of us for the thoughts and good wishes.

New Appointment

Dave Tindell

Dave has taken over the Manager position in Wiesbaden. He has worked previously in Schweinfurt and Bamberg and before that a “few” years in Wurzburg.

I know Dave will add his own personal touch to Wiesbaden.

Addition to MM Option

New addition to pen pocket options on made to measure.

We have added a new option for our “left handed” customers on our made to measure jacket styles which now allows the pen pocket to be added to the right side of the jacket as opposed to the left which is the default option.

If you have any queries regarding this please do not hesitate to contact Alexandre Support.
