Buying uniforms for your business is no easy task and despite a large number of businesses selling uniforms and workwear online, it can be hard to know who to trust. Tibard have been supplying workwear to some of the biggest businesses in the UK since 1979, manufacture many of our own products and have a dedicated support team based in Manchester. Want a Uniform? Trust Tibard.

Almost every business in the UK which has a customer facing front will have a uniform. There are many reasons for this; customers expect to find staff easily, business owners want a coherent brand and image, staff want to feel a part of the business and so on. The reasons why businesses need uniforms is not really the issue here, the issue is; how do businesses procure uniforms that work best for them. The first thing to look at is the two different types of uniforms that we feel broadly exist for all businesses; specialist uniforms and general uniforms.

Specialist Uniforms

Ultimately, specialist uniforms are what Tibard are best known for manufacturing; providing chef clothing and front of house wear to the catering and hospitality trade. Other types of specialist uniforms may be for; nurses, police, firemen, construction workers etc. What we mean by specialist is a uniform that must be worn in order to meet the requirements for working or operating in a certain job role. These requirements may be for cleanliness, protection or even just to follow the conventions that customers expect. For example, chefs wear chef jackets and aprons in order to keep clean, protect themselves and keep cool, as well as the important requirement to look like a chef in the customers eyes.

General Uniforms

Just because we say general, this does not mean these uniforms are any less important, it is just that they are more generic uniform items that are used to create uniformity, not to provide a specific function to staff. The types of clothing that may fall into this range would be t shirts, polo shirts and hoodies, all of which are common clothing items and on their own, don’t really represent a uniform.

So how does a business take these items and create a uniform? We would naturally suggest that they don’t, Tibard have specialist teams of designers who can create a range suited to your business. We colour match logos to existing stock clothing in order to keep fulfilment costs low and to ensure you can get a competitively priced uniform that is cost effective. The uniform can then be completed with the addition of personalised elements such as names, branding or tax tabs.

So Why Trust Tibard?

We know everything about uniforms and we have access to thousands of products made up of both general and specialised items. In fact, there is no uniform that we cannot provide and if it does not exist then we will simply manufacture it ourselves.

This alone is not a reason to trust us, neither is the fact the we have been established since 1979 or the fact we employ over 100 people in the UK, or even that we manufacture in the UK, or that we work with all of these companies.

The main reason to trust us is that we love to make uniforms. We love the challenge of finding the right products, the right styles, we love to make your customers smile and keep your staff happy. We love uniforms and if you choose to work with Tibard, we know you will love us.
