    The Bespoke Process

    Let us be your in-house Uniform Department,
    helping you manage multi-site workwear requirements.

The Bespoke Process
The Uniform Audit Process

Our uniform audit is not just about finding the right uniform for all your staff and the company. It is about finding ways for you to make savings, so that can be reinvested in new garments, that ensure your employees look smart and feel safe.

What we do

We look at your ordering patterns and interview your employees about their uniform. We listen to you and your staff, and we observe how each garment is used.

We then compare your practices with those in the same industry, and we assess how we can tailor our ranges from top suppliers to your exact requirements.

How We Save Costs

We look at ways that you can improve the functionality and quality of your garments through the generation of cost savings from existing practices.

We know that when employees are part of the process, and the quality of uniforms improve, an engaged workforce leads to even greater savings.

Happier Employees
Sample and Design Service

We make everything about designing your uniform SMARTER from considering employee comfort and safety, using innovative technology and ensuring your brand is portrayed in the best possible light.

Sample and Design
Service

Our designers will work with you on fabric selection, colour options, logo application, durability, and comfort measures. We can either work with you from a blank canvas, or we can show you best practice design ideas. Our specification service provides you with all you need to clearly specify the garments which create your company uniform.

What Makes Our
Service Different?

We proactively engage with your staff throughout the process and confirm ideas as we progress to provide you with a perfect solution to your specific needs.
