Recognition Express Southern is brimming with festival fever after securing a deal with clothing retailer White Stuff.

The high street clothing company, which prides itself on making its customers smile, does something quirky every summer. 

This year the staff decorated a caravan and will be touring festivals all over the UK.

The company wanted lots of festival – related gifts to give away at the venues, so they contacted local badge maker and promotional products company, Recognition Express Southern, in Horndean, Portsmouth.

RE branded tens of thousands of individual tea bags, beach balls, bottled water, torches, badges, and playing cards.

 “Recognition Express produced some really cool stuff for us,” said White Stuff director Lee Cooper. “They did a great job.”

Caroline Dinenage, who owns Recognition Express Southern with her mum Beverley, loved the challenge.

“It was great to be involved with such an innovative company,” she said. “Branding thousands of tea bags was a novelty. When you work with a company which believes in making people smile, it’s catching.”  

The caravan roadshow was at the Henley Regatta and its next appearances will be at the Limetree Festival, Chadstock in Devon and the Edinburgh Fringe.
