We’re the largest schoolwear supplier in the UK.

Schoolwear. We get it.

Setting new standards for sustainability, service and support.
We’ve been at the forefront of our industry for quite some time so there isn’t much we don’t know about schoolwear. Our mission is to revolutionise the market by continually setting new standards for sustainability, service and support to improve the way we operate and deliver for all our customers.
Giving every childa chance to shine.
When we say we get schoolwear, we really mean it. Schoolwear doesn’t just define a school’s identity, it also defines the identity of every student who wears it. We believe schoolwear has the power to make a real difference in people’s lives, which is why we’re driven by our vision of giving every child a chance to shine. Creating comfortable, durable and sustainable schoolwear that enables all students to look and feel great.
We believe schoolwear has the power to make a real difference in people’s lives.
Investing inproducts, serviceand our planet.
As the largest schoolwear supplier in the UK and still growing, we have a relentless desire to invest in all the things that matter most to our customers - the quality of our products, the calibre of our service and above all, doing the right thing for the planet.
Our size means we’re uniquely positioned to think big and offer the very best solutions to our customers on product, service and sustainability. But we’ll never be too big to care and we proudly support independent retailers of all sizes.
Employing over 300 people across three sites in Trowbridge, Altrincham and Seaham, the company has achieved significant growth over the years, and in October 2021, acquired backing from Private Equity Investors, CBPE.
The business is in a strong financial position and continues to invest heavily in stock, new product development, marketing and design, new technology and people, ensuring that we not only continue to supply our customers with innovative quality products and excellent service both now and in the future, but we centre our approach around making the supply of schoolwear as easy as possible.
