In our ‘Spotlight On’ series, we’re showcasing the many things Woodingdean has to offer, through profiles of local business owners.\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
This week, we speak to Debbie from Workkit, a new shop selling embroidered t-shirts, work-wear and uniforms.<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n

**Note – Workkit has now moved out of Woodingdean**<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This shop has been twelve years in the making. <\/b>I\u2019ve been working in embroidery ever since I bought my first machine in 2002. I worked from home, bought a second machine, before spending six years based in Hove with four machines. Now I\u2019ve finally taken the plunge with my very own premises, split into a workshop with a state-of-the-art\u00a0machine at the back and a shop at the front.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
If you want it, I can embroider it! <\/b>I specialise in embroidering logos and business names on clothing and uniforms.\u00a0 You can bring an item to me to embroider, or I can save you the hassle and provide the t-shirts or uniform you need as well. I hold a range of sample items in a rainbow of colours in my shop, so that you can pick exactly what you want before placing an order. I also offer heat press printing. Although I tend to make big runs (300+ t-shirts etc.), I can also do one-off items if people would like them.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
I\u2019ve already had orders from lots of local businesses. <\/b>Dovetail, Completely Carpets, SussexBlinds<\/a> <\/b>have all ordered embroidered uniforms and we\u2019re planning on working with some of the other shops on Warren Road very soon.\u00a0 I\u2019m also making the uniforms for Woodingdean Primary<\/a>, which is great as it was mine and my children\u2019s\u2019 school growing up!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Setting up Workkit has been a lot of fun.<\/b> I\u2019ve done loads of research and I\u2019ve been working really hard to get the shop up and running. Soon I\u2019ll have a website with a full catalogue that people will be able to buy from. Eventually, I\u2019d really like to take on somebody and train them up to use the machines so I can focus more on the admin and marketing side of the business.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
I was born and bred in Woodingdean!<\/b> I grew up and raised my kids here. It\u2019s a fantastic area and I\u2019m so happy to be opening my own business here. I love the fact that everybody knows each other and I have so many great memories of the town. It\u2019s got much bigger in my lifetime and it\u2019s lovely to see so many quality shops doing well here.<\/div>\n
