City firm winning Recognition

RECOGNITION Express, the Edinburgh-based corporate awareness firm, has seen sales grow by more than 50 per cent.

The company, which has branches across the UK, is now planning to build on its success by ramping up its promotional clothing offering.

As well as the existing embrodery and printing services, business owner Graham Mitchell wants to provide organic and fairtrade clothing for schools, businesses, charities and clubs.

"Almost all of our business growth has come from word of mouth recommendation or cross selling goods to existing clients," he said.

"In these challenging economic times it's more important than ever to invest in growth. That's why we're revamping our approach to decorative clothing, and I'm sure it will be a hit."
