Branded Uniforms Birmingham
Staff uniform supply for Birmingham businesses
A uniform is not one order, it is an arrangement. We set the scheme up once, hold your artwork and thread colours on file, and kit out every new starter after that without you re-explaining anything. Embroidered in-house in Selly Oak since 1999.
Most businesses do not have a uniform problem on the day they order. They have one nine months later, when the person who chose it has left, nobody wrote down which blue it was, the supplier has discontinued the garment, and the three people who joined since are wearing something almost right. That is what a uniform programme is for, and it is what separates this from simply buying branded clothing.
We hold the scheme. Garment, colour, thread, logo position, size profile, per role. A new starter is then a two-minute reorder rather than a conversation.
What goes into a uniform scheme
| Decision | What we pin down | Why it matters later |
|---|---|---|
| Core garment | Exact style code, not just "a navy polo" | Styles get discontinued. Knowing the code means we can find the closest live equivalent instead of guessing. |
| Role colours | One colour per role, agreed up front | Adding a fifth role later is easy if the first four were planned. |
| Logo position and size | Measured, not eyeballed | So garment 200 looks like garment 1. |
| Thread colours | Matched to brand and recorded | Removes the annual argument about which blue. |
| Names or logo only | Decided per role | Named garments cannot be reissued when someone leaves. |
| Size profile | Typical spread for your team | Makes reorders a quantity, not a survey. |
Garments we build schemes around
Polo shirts
The backbone of most uniform schemes. Embroidered left chest, one colour per role. From £4.69.
Browse polo shirtsShirts and knitwear
For client-facing and management staff, so the office reads as the same organisation as the floor.
Browse corporate wearFleeces and softshells
The outer layer, and the one people wear off site, which makes it your most public garment.
Browse jackets and fleecesTunics
Care, clinical and salon teams, colour-coded by role and embroidered to survive a 60°C wash.
Browse healthcare uniformsHi-vis
Where a scheme meets a standard. Logo sized to keep the garment inside its certified class.
Browse hi-vis workwearTrousers
Usually unbranded and colour-matched, so the uniform reads as an outfit rather than a top.

This is the part that decides whether a uniform still looks like a uniform in year two.
- No minimum reorder. One polo for one new starter is a normal order here.
- Artwork stays on file. Digitisation is a one-off, so reorders carry no setup cost.
- Same spec every time. Position, size and thread are recorded, not re-decided.
- Discontinued garments handled. We flag it and propose the closest live match before you find out the hard way.
- Multi-site. One account, one invoice, split deliveries where you need them.
Businesses ordering regularly are usually better off on a trade account, which gets better pricing and a named contact who already knows your scheme.
Why in-house matters for a uniform
We supply the garments and embroider them ourselves in Birmingham. For a uniform specifically, that means consistency: the same machines, the same file and the same operator standard on the reorder as on the original. Schemes that go through a broker to a trade decorator drift, because the second order is not necessarily produced by whoever produced the first.
It also means we can test. If you are unsure between two garments or two colours, we will stitch a sample of each so the decision is made looking at real garments rather than a screen.
Setting one up
- Tell us the roles and rough headcount. Job titles are enough to start.
- We propose a scheme with garments, colours and a price per person per role, free.
- We mock it up on the actual garments so you can see it before committing.
- You sign off, we produce. Typically 5 to 7 working days from artwork approval.
- We hold the scheme. Every reorder afterwards is a quantity and a size list.
Frequently asked questions
How many staff do we need before this is worth doing?
There is no threshold. Two-person businesses run uniform schemes with us. The value is in the consistency, not the volume.
What if we want to change the scheme later?
Change it. We will tell you what it costs to run down the old garments alongside the new ones so the transition does not look accidental.
Can you put staff names on?
Yes, per garment. Worth doing for senior or client-facing roles, less so for high-turnover ones, because a named garment cannot be reissued.
Do you keep stock of our uniform?
We hold the specification rather than ring-fenced stock, and order the garments in for each run. Tell us if you need faster than that and we will work out an approach with you.
Can we order for several Birmingham sites at once?
Yes. One order, one invoice, delivered to as many addresses as you need.
Can you match a uniform we already have?
Usually. Send a garment or a photo and we will find the closest current equivalent and match the thread. If you are local, bring it in.
