VN Uniform a ‘Fashion Classic’
The P785 tunic.
Some uniform styles come and go but Grahame Gardner’s P785 is displaying all the signs of enduring popularity associated with a classic style.  After being developed for the fashion focused Beauty Market, Grahame Gardner soon found interest for the tunic coming from the Veterinary Market – where it continues to be a hit!

The classic style boasts a mandarin style collar and side opening detail, with attractive pearl studs and a tri-button internal security feature.

Simon Ward, Sales Director comments on the ongoing success of this style: “We design new tunics throughout the year, but when the outlines for the P785 were put on the table we all recognised they were something special. The response from the Veterinary Market has been phenomenal and it has gone on to be one of our best sellers. What makes the P785 so popular is its broad appeal, it represents a more fashionable take on workwear, so is popular with all members of staff, yet it is also very smart and professional so the management also give it their seal of approval. Perhaps best of all, the cut and the length of the tunic mean that is a very flattering shape for all.”

Bluetongue RZ extended across Scotland

The Scottish Government has announced an extension to a Bluetongue Restricted Zone that is in place in south-west Scotland.

From 3 October, the Restricted Zone will be extended to cover the whole of Scotland. The Animal, Plant and Health Agency (APHA) says this is in response to further disease spread, as well as simplify trading conditions ahead of the autumn.

Since the whole country will share a disease status, it will no longer be necessary to have a movement license to move susceptible livestock around the country. Restrictions on germinal products remain.

As of 1 October 2026, there were 1,979 cases of BTV-3 in England, 389 cases in Wales and 40 cases in Scotland.
