Liverpool Airport

Liverpool Airport lands a comprehensive uniform service from Tibard

Being one of Europe’s fastest growing airports for over two decades and now transporting over 5 million passengers a year, Liverpool John Lennon Airport’s staff need more than most from their uniform. With over 9 staffing areas to clothe ranging from managers to engineers, control room to fire services, ensuring they found a supplier to cater for all of their workwear requirements was vital for their own centralisation. Because of the diversity of occupations and responsibilities at an airport, the garments LJLA needed were incredibly varied. They required corporate wear for their management team and with their new charcoal suiting from Yorkshire tailor’s Brook Taverner. To match this professional style, Liverpool Airport also requested bespoke ties and scarves to be manufactured for them so their uniform had that personal, unique touch. You won’t be surprised that high-visibility clothing was an incredibly important category for Liverpool Airport.

With vests, waistcoats and jackets their staff will be as noticeable as possible. And of course, polos, shirts, blouses, cargo trousers and wide variety of other workwear items were needed so they created a consistent and identifiable uniform. Your clothing plays so many key roles at a site like an airport. It has to help you perform your role but also make you easy to spot for customers so they know who to turn to when they require assistance. A key part of that is personalisation. LJLA was able to utilise our in-house embroidery and heat seal transfer service to ensure their logo was on as many garments as possible. But with so many staffing areas managing their uniform long term was a complex logistical problem. However, with Tibard Cloud their uniform management was taken care of with their own bespoke web-store with all of their products, addresses and personalisations in one location and easily accessible for each section’s purchase managers. It is our honour to play a small role in the story and day to day running of a regional institution like Liverpool Airport.
