Season's greetings from everyone at Pier32.

We hope you have an enjoyable and relaxing break and we wish you all the very best for 2014.

A Look Back at 2013

Our last newsletter of the year offers the perfect opportunity to highlight the variety of articles that we've posted on our blog from January to December.

The View From The Pier focuses on the world of apparel and its worlwide impact, together with features about Pier32 customers and their events.

We've picked 1 article from each month of 2013. There are plenty more to choose from.

The Holiday Break

We'll be closing down our factories from lunchtime on Friday 20 December for 2 weeks, re-opening on Monday 6 January. Our Directors will still be monitoring emails during the holiday period.

We wish you all the best and look forward to hearing from you in 2014. Take care.
