Why Amaya?

Don’t just take our word for it.

Albeit a few communications/misunderstandings that caused some negative vibes over the past weeks… we can honestly say we are astounded by the level of customer service given by all your staff members. Their level of commitment with regards to solving issues is second to none! The welcome we received in Portsmouth last Thursday was outstanding, we even had ancillary members of your team, that wasn’t a part of the training day, come along to meet us and say hello, this was lovely. The instruction on the use of the Roland from Adam and Lee was highly professional, simple to understand, friendly and inspiring, and has left us extremely excited for the arrival of our new printer. Adam, even took the time to educate us on many essential methods of use, with regards to Transfer rip and our oki printer, which we never knew about, this alone has already made a massive impact on the quality of our workmanship since. We would also like to give a shout out to Adam Barr and Liz for listening to our gripes and dealing with them in such a professional fashion over the past few weeks! We can honestly say that you have an amazing team and that we look forward to working with you for many years to come.

Have used Amaya since 2003. Seventeen years !!! sheesh lol. They helped my business from day 1 and i am still running. Julian and co have been supportive throughout. We have exchanged several bottles of champers over the years as our families have grown. If you are seriously considering entering this business then i would highly highly recommend. You are not just buying a piece of machinery. You are buying a caring, rich in experience support network.

Amaya Uk have been beside us as a Company for over 17 years, and through that time they have always been there to offer advice and help. Through their excellent support we have grown not just in the world of Embroidery, but in printing through the various printing formats they offer. We have found them professional, caring and helpful, and always willing to go that extra mile to ensure we have what we want, not what they want. We can only thank them for all their help, and just wish we met them a lot earlier.
