Magna Garments

We are over at No. 37 in the Sidco Industrial Estate on Harvey Road. Magna Garments is the name we use. Being in an industrial estate means there is always a lot of noise from the other units nearby. We have a decent-sized space where we do all our garment work. It’s mostly rows of machines and people working away. The floor is concrete and it gets a bit cold in the winter mornings. We make all sorts of basic garments. It’s a busy environment and we usually have a lot of bags waiting to be shipped out. The delivery trucks are always backing in and out of the estate, so you have to watch where you park. We’ve had this spot for a while and it suits what we do. There isn't any fancy decor, just some calendars on the wall and a lot of thread. We don't really do retail, so we don't get many walk-in customers. It’s mostly business people coming to talk about their orders. Sometimes we have to work through the weekends if there’s a big deadline. We try to keep the machines oiled and the place as tidy as possible, but with so much fabric, there’s always lint in the air. Harvey Road can be a mess with the traffic, but once you're inside the estate, it's just about getting the work done.
