Tell us a bit about your business

"3 Drakes is a family-run business, which has grown dramatically over the last three years.  We pride ourselves on offering exceptional quality embroidery (helped by our wonderful ZSK machines) to a range of customers from the small one-man-band tradesman right up supplying embroidered clothing to some of the largest high street brands in the country. We are a company that is small enough to care but big enough to deliver.  Call us now to find out why our growth has been from customer referrals and tap into our expertise."

When did you start working with Stocks?

"2018"

What is the latest piece of equipment you have purchased from Stocks?

"The ZSK Sprint."

Why did you choose this equipment? What do you think are its main advantages?

"To increase our capacity for monogramming in metallic threads and increase our overall offering."

Is there anything you’d like to see in an upgrade or don’t particularly like about it?

"Easier networking! I don't think we use enough of the features of the machine and I would love an easy website with tutorials."

What type of work is it used for?

"Monogramming, Horsewear, workwear, homeware"

Does your latest machine work in combination with your other machines?

Yes - in fact after our latest move the machines are networked and I can send designs to the machines from an upstairs office. To us Stocks and ZSK "are part of the "Holy Trinity" of embroidery: ZSK - Wilcom - Madeira."

Why did you choose to purchase your equipment from Stocks?

We have built a relationship with the Stocks team and know we can trust their knowledge and advice. The quality of the machines, level of service "and support are second to none."

What would be your advice to others thinking of buying equipment from Stocks?

"Listen to Andrew and the team - they know their stuff!"
