We've been working hard to ensure that our creations meet the expectations of our clients and we have a team of skilled creatives that we believe are second to none in the United Kingdom.
We work with clients across all business sectors, and we've made lots of different mascot costumes - so we're never surprised by requests for specific types of costume.
We've analysed our industry closely and we conciously avoid providing mass produced 'saggy' costumes and specialise in bespoke creations. We also create everything in-house from the best materials we can source and our costume heads are not made of thick absorbent foam (hot and smelly!) or polystyrene - which some of our competitors - especially those who outsource overseas - use as standard.
Mascot costumes are a big investment and we don't underestimate the financial commitment they represent. So we work with you to make sure your mascot costume is just as you want it.
Here are some of the most recent features about us and our mascot costumes:

In many aspects of our business we try to be good...
If you share our desire to be kind to the planet, then think carefully about your choice of supplier: a "green" policy is not only an indicator of an ethical stance, but a fair approach to their business relationships in general - including treating staff with respect.
We have helped many charities over the years and whilst we cannot always provide free product, we certainly try and help good causes. We also work in the Education sector providing an insight into the world of design for kids who wouldn't necessarily have that opportunity.
Our Aspirations:
Avoidance of printed materials - paperless office, no printed brochures are produced and all of our invoicing is electronic
We estimate that around 90% of our manufacturing waste materials are either recycled back into production or donated to local schools or scrap projects
Wherever possible materials are sourced from local suppliers and companies with ethical manufacturing policies
We try to avoid the use of glues and solvents containing V.O.C's (Volatile Organic Compounds)
We are a small company and manage our use of energy resources carefully
We strongly support charities and subsidise Local Authority orders and donate costumes regularly.
The copious amounts of coffee and tea we drink are Fair Trade
We have created an App which provides more information about us, our costumes and a gallery of images and video. It also has a fun application - great for kids - to allow them to design their mascot!
Most importantly it has our Wear and Care instructions on the App - so you can have them with you wherever you and your mascot go. It's free... head over there now and download it!
We have an active and organically recruited following on Facebook. Our work colleagues, friends and clients follow the posts about our new projects, the lastest publicity, and what we get up to. It's a great place to have a look at us in a less formal light - so why not head over to Facebook now and see what we've been up to most recently.
We also have a presence on twitter.
You can learn more about us on Linkedin too.
As the company continues to grow, we are always happy to hear from prospective employees with relevant skills and experience.
Ideally we are looking for staff who are looking for a new challenge - to work in a refreshing and liberating environment in a business that's growing fast.
If you are a prop maker, a cutter, a machinist or a marketing professional, then please email us with your details and we can arrange a time to talk.
All applications for employment are dealt with confidentially.
