Fittings months ahead of the Saturday

The fitting is a half hour in your diary in March and the hire is a garment out on a Friday in November. Two dated bookings under one customer, so you can see both without holding either in your head.

Six who have to match, tracked one by one

Get paid

Out Friday, back Monday, chased Tuesday

The hire carries its return date from the moment it is made, an email goes to the customer when it falls due, and a jacket away for alterations is blocked so it cannot be promised to another Saturday.
