Launch of new uniform for 2008
A new season and a new look, no more black and whites or incorrect fitting uniform, unfortunately size has always been a problem. The company's current supplier only provided polo shirts to a XXL & jackets to a XXXL which, we know for some of our larger staff got a bit uncomfortable in very hot or inclement weather. The Board has been working closely with an overseas design company to produce the new range of uniform, from Blazers & Suits to Polo's & event wear. Unfortunately the season is upon us, but we are working hard to get these new items produced and distributed by the middle of July 2008. If you want to take a look at the complete range http://www.ju-st.co.uk/services.php

J.U.S.T open new Glasgow office
With demand growing for the services of J.U.S.T north of the border, it was decided by the Board that a new office should be opened on the West Coast complimenting the already operational office just outside Edinburgh. Glasgow was the number one choice due to its high concentration of potential staff and the number of previous contractual enquiries that had already been made from the area. Executive Director Ged Carstairs said "we are being asked to cover more and more contracts now, the Glasgow office will allow our expansion into other areas, up to now one company has dominated the event industry in Scotland, but with the introduction of J.U.S.T people seem ready for a change".
