From 1990 to now
Three decades ago we began selling work clothing to the trade and public from the back of our van. 31 years later we're the fastest growing workwear retailer in Europe with over 300 dedicated colleagues in our headquarters in Durham, UK.
Now, over a quarter of a century later, Workwear Express has two purpose-built factories and fulfilment centres featuring the latest clothing production tech. In 2018, we introduced our existing 50,000 sq. ft facility to a new neighbour in the form of a brand new 50,000 sq. ft fulfilment centre building Europe's largest customised workwear and fulfilment centre.
Embroidery, print, transfer and more – our end-to-end custom work clothing process covers all aspects. From concept and production to our 20,000+ product range and secure, next day delivery, our unique full workwear service operates under one roof. From complete uniform services to promotional clothing and bespoke custom uniform
From 1990 to now
Three decades ago, our founder, Andrew Ward began selling work clothing to the trade and public from the back of his van. His vision? To open his own work uniform clothing company. And after a few years working tirelessly around the clock, he did just that.
Having founded his own business with a dedicated premise, he bought an old embroidery machine and climbed to the forefront of the industry with his custom logo capabilities.
Now, over a quarter of a century later, Workwear Express has two purpose-built factories and fulfilment centres featuring the latest clothing production tech. In 2018, we introduced our existing 28,000 sq. ft factory to a new neighbour in the form of a brand new 40,000 sq. ft factory. And the two coexist marvellously.
