What do you love about working in the garment industry? What gets you out of bed in the morning and working late into the night? And what do you loathe? What sets you grinding your teeth and climbing the walls in frustration? Dave Smith of TOTShirts in London shares his pet likes and dislikes…
LOVE IT!
As others have said, happy clients is the best!
Overcoming some truly challenging deadlines; couldn’t be prouder of the team when they pull it out of the bag.
Folks who take on responsibility. My absolute favourite is, “Dave, I’ve got this, now fuck off!”.
We’ve recently upgraded our screen room with an LTS (laser-to-screen) system and seeing the team push the boundaries of resolution and quality, this pleases me.
Bikes! Two-wheeled or four, I get to ride them every day.
LOATHE IT!
Mistakes… Do all your doublechecks three times!
Folks with a black belt in Nocando!
Disciplinaries.
When I have to take a drink from the ‘now do what Dave told you to in the first place’ mug.
Cutlery with plastic handles, gummed up tommy sauce bottles, double dippers, loose false teeth, burgers that don’t stack properly, hairy moles and pointless updates.
