About Us - Advartex Ltd

Advartex Ltd was established as a family run business over 40 years ago by Neville Hodgson. In those days we dealt with small orders of protective clothing and some items of leisurewear. Today, Advartex supply printed and embroidered garments to a wide variety of industries from music merchandise through to the retail marketplace.

We are proud to still be a family run business, with Neville’s son Andrew Hodgson leading the company forward. Investment in the latest technologies have meant we have always been at the forefront in print and garment developments.

Advartex is now one of the UK’s leading suppliers of printed t-shirts and other promotional merchandise, supplying over 2.5 million items every year.

Our unique combination of technical knowledge and experience customer service means we can guarantee a personalised, friendly and price competitive experience.
