Jeff Bank’s ‘s new ‘designer branded working wardrobe’ has been selected by the New Victoria Hospital in Kingston as the new business clothing range for over 60 of their reception and admin staff .

New Victoria selected a capsule range from the collection which best suited the needs of their staff allowing them personal choice and practicality but emphasising the corporate look across the hospital

There was also the choice of a long fine knit navy cardigan with delicate ribbing at the waist.
