The “Image of the Year” awards recognize achievement in the design, creation and manufacture of image apparel programs in a number of categories. GKdirect has now won nine “Image of the Year” awards over the past five years.

“We are honored to have two of our customer apparel programs receive ‘Image of the Year’ awards,” said Robert McIntire, General Manager of GKdirect.

“Being recognized by NAUMD for the fifth consecutive year demonstrates our team’s continued commitment to meeting the needs of our customers through delivering unique uniform programs with a focus on quality, function and style. “

GKdirect won an “Image of the Year” award in the NAUMD’s Service & Industry category, for its Fall 2012 uniform program for Toyota Motor Manufacturing’s locations across North America. GKdirect also won the award in the Special Recognition category for its work on Mary Kay’s 50th Anniversary “All That Glitters is Gold” collection.
