Stand dismantled, lorry loaded, Manchester here we come! Thanks again to all of you who visited our stand at Hotelympia. See you again in 2014, if not before!!

Cracking first day at Hotelympia - thanks to all of you who dropped by the OH stand. For those of you coming up during the week be sure to come and see us on stand N2615.

We are currently working on a number of unique products with a special Olympic theme. Want to find out more? Then come and see us on our stand at Hotelympia (N2615) and we will give you the lowdown.

We've launched two new limited edition aprons - a stylish black and white striped bib and black and white striped waist - and they're going fast. Both are manufactured in a lightweight yarn-dyed fabric (35% cotton/65% polyester) and feature branded non-tangle ties and a cloth loop. They are priced at £15 and £10 respectively.

Here at Oliver Harvey we're already getting into the Christmas spirit and we’ve got five navy/white butcher’s bib aprons to giveaway to the first five people to email sales@oliverharvey.co.uk putting the words “Blog Apron” in the subject line. Don’t forget to include your name and address! The five lucky winners will be notified by email. Good luck!

For those of you watching Big Brother and trying to work out why Louise looks so familiar, let us help you out. Here she is getting her big break modelling for us in the first Oliver Harvey brochure!

Fed up with tearing your trousers and aprons around the kitchen? If so, check out our range of Oliver Harvey "Ripstop" products which includes executive chef trousers, plus bibs and waist aprons. They have a nylon thread woven through them, in an interlocking pattern, that provides extra strength and prevents the fabric from tearing or ripping, a particularly useful feature in a hectic kitchen environment. Although tough, "Ripstop" material is lightweight and versatile, lending itself to comfortable yet practical chefswear.

Can't believe it's two years since we launched Oliver Harvey at the last Hotelympia! We will be there again in 2012 (26th Feb - 1st March) with lots of new and exciting additions to the range so be sure to come and see us on stand N2615.
