Tunic update - 23/09/2026

The tunic delivery was returned to the supplier for additional processing to ensure the garments meet our quality standards. The tunics have now been unpacked and aired for a week, and the supplier is currently pressing, steaming and repacking them into new polybags.

We expect a limited quantity of tunics in all sizes to be available for purchase from Friday 25 September 2026 @ 10 am, with the full order due to be completed and back in stock by the end of the following week.

We sincerely apologise for the delay, and we would like to thank you for your patience and understanding over the past few weeks. We kindly ask for your continued patience over the coming week while the remaining stock is returned to us. Once the full delivery has arrived, there will be ample stock available for everyone.

Tunic update - 09/09/2026

Unfortunately, 2026 has brought its share of unexpected challenges, and uniform deliveries have been the latest to be affected.

Each year, the Shop Team works hard to plan and prepare well in advance to ensure company orders are processed and fulfilled as efficiently as possible. However, despite careful planning, unforeseen circumstances can sometimes disrupt even the best preparations.

As many of you are aware, there has been a delay in the arrival of tunics into GBNI, resulting in a number of companies waiting for stock. We were pleased to learn that the long-awaited shipment arrived today. However, on inspection, it was discovered that the consignment had been significantly damaged during transit, arriving damp and with an associated odour.

Claire is currently exploring a number of options with suppliers and carriers to resolve the situation as quickly as possible and minimise further delays. In the meantime, the Board would appreciate your patience and understanding while a solution is put in place.

We recognise the inconvenience this may cause and apologise for the delay. Unfortunately, this is an issue that could not reasonably have been anticipated, despite extensive planning and preparation.

Please inform your parents of the situation and keep an eye on the GBNI Latest News page for updates.

Thank you for your continued support and cooperation.

GBNI Chairperson
