To cope with the ever increasing demands from our customers, we will be moving our factory and offices to a new location in Gee Cross, Hyde.

The new set up will ensure we have more capacity for future growth and make us more efficient as our product ranges continue to increase.

The move to ‘The Old Rope Works’ will start on Thursday 8th July and should be completed by Weds 14th July. There should be no disruption to our customers during the move – the main phone number and email address will  remain the same. However, we will announce a new phone number on the 8th, once we get confirmation from BT.

RAD SHEEP have worked with the Royal Navy Triathlon team to develop a range of training kit. Each piece of the kit was thoroughly tested by extensive wearer trials.

The co-ordinated range of kit includes : base layer top, running vest and long sleeve sports shirt.

Every year the English Lacrosse Association (ELA) recruit American Local Development Officers (LDO)  to work with clubs and schools.

 At the club, the LDO is responsible for helping to grow and maintain the junior programme, coaching select junior squads, supporting the Pop and LAX initiatives and refereeing games.

In the schools they encourage children of all ages to try lacrosse and then help them develop their skills.

This year, with the FIL World Lacrosse Champioships being held in Manchester, the LDO have all been kitted out in a special 2010 polo shirt.

RAD SHEEP worked with the ELA staff to create a design with the right image for their staff as they work in the schools and clubs throughout the UK to  develop a Lacrosse legacy.

After designing a new logo, RAD SHEEP have now launched a new range of Hoodies for the children and teachers at the Sheila Payant Theatre Dance school in Monton, Eccles.

This well known dance school was started 59 years ago and is still run by 80 plus year old Sheila Payant. Many of her current students are the children and grandchildren of former pupils.

Miss Payant (as everyone calls her) was the first one to get her personalised hoodie with her name on the back in sparkly gold lettering.

RAD SHEEP have created a new logo for Stockport dance and drama school – Bates Stage Academy.

This new logo has now been used as an embroidery and heat applied transfer to decorate a new range of Hoodies and t-shirts for all the children and teachers to wear in class and at dance competitions. By introducing a full zip hoodie (Zoodie) the children are able to take them off without disturbing their hair styles and costumes.

Many of the pupils will be appearing in this year Joan Bates pantomime - Dick Whittington at Romiley Forum from 10th to 19th December. Tickets available on 0161 – 432 – 4787.
