Alexandra have been working with Birmingham City University for over 10 years to provide over 1,000 students with uniforms across their nursing and medical courses every academic year. We begin in January to agree the garment range and forecast predicted demand. This is produced by our forecasting system to provide the university with an accurate ‘anticipated stock profile’ based on student numbers and historical sizing. Behind the scenes at Alexandra, we can then commence production of the garments in preparation for the measuring and hand issue days that will be held at the university. In cases where our forecast is exceeded, we are able to use our accelerated production capability to provide any additional uniforms to the students prior to the start their practice placements.

Every year we work with universities and colleges across the UK to deliver our unique Student garment services. Over many years, we have built up a wealth of experience that enables us to offer a streamlined, professional service to you and your students.
As part of this service we complete all forecasting of agreed underwritten stock requirements and work with you to plan your student uniform roll-out.
We receive nothing but the best service for all of our student uniform orders. Even when unique situations arise, Alexandra are always accommodating and deliver Lee O’Kane every time. Enrolment Manager, Birmingham University
By late August, we finalise the student numbers, names and course details with the university so we are fully prepared for the sizing days. On the sizing day, Birmingham City University provide us with a timetable. They organise and co-ordinate the allocation of time-slots so that there is a steady flow of students throughout the day, preventing long waiting times. They also prepare changing facilities to allow the students to try the garments on and for us to process the orders for them. Following the sizing day, we arrange to attend the university to hand issue the uniforms to the students. This enables us to be on hand, should there be any queries. Once the process of sizing and distributing the uniforms is complete, we provide the university with consolidated invoicing, showing a student-by-student breakdown of the orders. We work closely to balance the needs of the university with those of the students, whilst also working within the parameters set by the University and our own production systems.
