“ Our expertise in producing exceptional uniforms for many major brands is shown in both the quality and design of the end product and in the selection of testimonials you will see throughout these pages.� Carl Keeting, Managing Director
about us CKL is an innovative and responsive corporate wear provider offering a wealth of experience in bespoke garment design and production. Operating from our headquarters in Leeds, we offer a unique director led level of service to all our customers, the success of which is borne out by an enviable track record of account retention.
Over a 22 year period we have grown and developed into a corporate supplier synonymous with great service and quality of product. Growth and development at CKL has brought both service expansion and enhancement for our customers. Backed by a leading Swedish suiting manufacturer we offer both financial stability and manufacturing capabilities second to none.
who we supply We are delighted to supply companies looking for a stylish new corporate image and also those businesses seeking an exceptionally high level of ‘hands-on’ personal service from their supplier. At CKL we know that the creation of a recognised and respected company brand starts with the development of an immaculate, stylish and ‘designed for the purpose’ high quality uniform. That is what we give our customers and this is why they choose us...
“ For over eight years CKL have provided us with a uniform that we feel truly represents our company ethos of quality and service. Over our contract period, we have received a well managed, fully stock-supported service and an excellent level of aftercare. We therefore have no hesitation in recommending the services of CKL to others.” Booths Supermarkets
how we operate A perfect uniform which ticks every box can only come through understanding the needs of our customers‌.in detail! We recognise that different businesses have different
demands and at CKL we work hard to meet these individual requirements. From ground to board level through a combination of staff surveys and management meetings, we interpret the needs of our clients taking into account the
purpose of the uniform, the environment in which it will be worn, the customers it will be seen by and the all important intended brand identity.
“ Leeds Building Society was delighted to recently renew its contract in October 2008 with CKL a Leeds based, independent company that has provided us with our corporate uniform for the previous five years. The designers at CKL worked closely with the Society to create the new corporate uniform which included a number of significant developments including a new suit fabric and the introduction of tailored pinstripe blouses to reflect our modern image. CKL also provided us with a dedicated Account Manager who gave an extremely helpful and friendly service during what was a very busy time.� Leeds Building Society
design and production Unlike most other corporate clothing companies, we have our own fresh thinking in-house design team who are able to interpret a customer’s brief to perfection. We never underestimate the importance of style and design and pride ourselves in our ability to consistently create uniforms which are a success with management, staff and customers alike.
Style aside, we also have our own in house production capability through our Swedish manufacturing partners. We can therefore control quality of production, time scales and agreed roll out dates. This strength of infrastructure is unmatched by most of our competitors.
“ At Gold Medal Travel one of our key considerations when reviewing suppliers is whether or not they can provide us with the essential back up we require on stock management and stock support, bearing in mind our regular new starter requirements. I can safely say that CKL have proved to be extremely reliable in this area. The company has an individual customer focussed approach and I am more than happy to recommend them.” Gold Medal Travel Group
dedicated account management Vital to the smooth running of a contract is the level of account management given and received. We offer a director-led level of service for each customer incorporating regular
face to face review meetings to ensure that stock levels are in place and contractual agreements are consistently adhered to.
“ McCarthy & Stone have no hesitation in recommending CKL. We have used the company for a number of years to design and supply our sales force uniforms and they have proved to be a very professional and efficient supplier. The service they provide is always second to none.” McCarthy & Stone Retirement Lifestyles Ltd
ethical values Our Swedish backing has defined the strength of our ethically orientated ethos. All our suppliers are required to demonstrate their commitment to being similarly focussed, and any factories used outside our own in house
production must maintain rigorous quality controls and employment standards. No CKL factories employ child labour and all adhere to professional employment standards.
