Telford-based
MyWorkwear, a leading supplier of custom clothing and personalised workwear, recently celebrated reaching 45 years in business.
Founded in 1976 by Mike Worthington, the business first started producing golf and cycle bags but very quickly moved into the uniform and workwear business in 1980 due to the demand from local Japanese businesses for overalls that fitted their UK workers.
From the early days, the company focused on what the customer needed so when the retail world started to move online, MyWorkwear launched its first website and the business went from strength to strength.
The company now supplies businesses throughout the UK, from Vimto to Great Ormond Street and Oxford University to the Royal Airforce and it has retained its very first online customer. Producing thousands of garments per week, MyWorkear knows importance of quality workwear to the businesses who trust it with their brand and truly believe that a well dressed team is a strong indication of a well run company.
MyWorkwear continues to adapt, develop and expand, and in just the last two years alone has more than doubled its revenue and staff numbers, while investing in new machinery and a new brand to future-proof the company going forward.
Managing director James Worthington said: “We have seen a lot of changes over the years, not just in the fashions, but one thing remains the same — our emphasis on quality and customer service. As we celebrate this milestone, we are proud of the achievements we have made, and we look forward to making UK businesses ‘workwear happy’ for the next 45 years and beyond.”
