Who are we and what do we do?  
​Stitch is an embroidery business that’s based in the heart of Milton Keynes and this is our why….   

How frustrating is it being a business professional and not being able to find a local company that can produce just a couple of company branded garments for your business? Something that makes you stand out from the rest, something that makes you look like a professional in your field of work.  Being the wife to a sole trader (and coming from a family of small business owners), I know only too well how difficult it is to make my husband’s business look as professional as he is. It soon became apparent that trying to find a clothing company that would just supply one or two branded polo shirts was almost impossible without paying out an absolute fortune!    

In May 2016 after spending a few years on a hobby nappy cake business, offering my customers the option of a personalised embroidered baby blanket and being frustrated that no one would entertain our order of 1 or 2 polo shirts due to their minimum order requirements, I decided to turn my hobby into a full-time business and Stitch Milton Keynes was born.  

Whilst sitting down and writing my first business plan, one thing I wanted to make sure of was that every single customer that came my way, whether they were the owner of a multinational company or a local window cleaner from up the road was catered for. Stitch Milton Keynes doesn’t treat you any differently to any other customer! 1 or 100, you’re all as valuable as each other. So, whether you are a sole trader, a business owner with many employees or simply someone looking for an embroidered towel for your mum on Mothers Day, Stitch will be happy to help.     

Fast forward to 2024… Business is amazing! We have been in our new premises at Galley Lane Farm for over a year now. We introduced a new member to the team, Carly who brings so much to the business in all areas. We are looking at introducing lots of new ideas over the next 12 months, so we hope you’ve signed up to our quarterly newsletter so you can follow us on our journey (if not, sign up down below).
