by Quality Marine Clothing 7 May 07:46 BST

Leading Australian marine uniform supplier, Quality Marine Clothing (QMC), is proud to announce its expansion into New Zealand with the opening of a new office in the heart of Auckland City.

Previously operating as Uniform Shelf, the New Zealand branch will now trade as Quality Marine Clothing New Zealand, strengthening QMC's presence across the Pacific. This marks an exciting milestone for the company, which has been a trusted name in marine apparel since its inception in 2017.

The new office, located in the viaduct area will be managed by Michelle Crooks, a seasoned professional with extensive experience in the marine and superyacht sectors.

"New Zealand has always been a key market in the Pacific, and we are proud to have the right team on the ground in the right location," said Duncan Curnow, Sales & Marketing Director of QMC. "This expansion has been a long time in the making, and we are all incredibly excited to bring our expertise and high-quality service to the region."

Founded by marine enthusiasts Duncan Curnow and Tony Liddy, QMC has built a strong reputation for providing premium uniforms with a commitment to exceptional customer service. With offices in Sydney, Cairns, the Gold Coast, and Hong Kong, as well as representation in Fiji, Tahiti, and key Australian locations, QMC continues to grow as a trusted supplier in the marine industry.

Michelle Crooks, who joins QMC to lead the New Zealand office, brings a wealth of industry knowledge, having previously operated as a supplier in the sector. "While my business was thriving, I saw the growth and support QMC can offer. Their approach aligns perfectly with mine, and I'm thrilled to be part of the team," she said.

The new Quality Marine Clothing New Zealand office will officially open on 7th May 2025 offering a comprehensive range of premium uniforms and branded merchandise tailored to the marine, superyacht and corporate customer.
