Team GB 'dressed for success' by Alexander Manufacturing

Cumbernauld-based Alexander Manufacturing has been appointed by Team GB to outfit the nation's athletes with formal wear ahead of the Paris Olympic Games.

It is now crafting bespoke men's and women's suits for up to 350 athletes.

The attire will be worn at select formal events, made from McNaughton's Perth cloth.

Nadia Alexander, founder of Alexander Manufacturing, commented: "Each stitch embodies our passion for design and our commitment to showcasing the heritage of Scottish textiles.

"We're creating more than just formal wear; we like to think that we are weaving the spirit of Great Britain into every Team GB garment."

Tim Ellerton, Team GB's commercial director, said: "The Olympic Games are the biggest sporting spectacle on the planet, and while all eyes are on Team GB athletes as they prepare to compete, they continue to represent their nation at a range of events on their return from the Games too.

"We're pleased to be working with Alexander Manufacturing to ensure they look and feel their best, wherever they are."
