Our place is inside the New Sadguru Nanak Industrial Estate, right across from Jaycoach. It is not a mall, it’s a working industrial area, so it gets a bit noisy with all the trucks and machines around us. We’ve been at unit 203 for a good stretch of years now. We deal with clothes and fashion, mostly on the making side. My desk is usually covered in scraps of fabric and old measuring tapes that have seen better days. It is a bit of a maze to find us if you’ve never been to the estate before. You have to look for the faded sign near the main entrance. The lift works most of the time, but sometimes it gets stuck, so we just take the stairs. It is good exercise anyway. We don’t have a big sales team or anything like that. It’s just a few of us making sure the work gets done right and on time. Sometimes we stay late when there is a big order to finish for a client. The tea stall downstairs is where we go when we need a short break. It gets quite hot in the afternoons but we have a couple of old fans that keep the air moving. People come to us when they want something specific made. We don't do the fancy stuff you see on TV. We just make clothes that people can actually wear in real life. It is practical work and we like it that way. We’ve been here so long that we know everyone else in the building.
