1994
- Excellent Reputation
- Very Loyal Customer Base
- Huge Growth Potential
- Low Overheads

Established in 1994 and under current ownership since 2022, this relocatable, home-based business, run from Hertfordshire, supplies embroidered and printed workwear, uniforms and corporate clothing to small and medium-sized businesses. The established customer base is concentrated in Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire and Warwickshire and includes pubs and hotels, venues, trades and local employers.
All production and delivery is outsourced to an established UK embroidery and print partner on competitive rates. No stock is held, and there are no premises or employees, so overheads are very low.

GROWTH:
Google Ads and outbound sales are currently paused, so there is an immediate, proven lever to pull. There is further scope in Hertfordshire and neighbouring counties, in supplying schoolwear direct to schools, and in supply agreements for larger teams.
INCLUDED IN THE SALE (asset sale):
Goodwill, brand, website and domain, business phone numbers, the customer list and order history, and introductions to key suppliers.
REASON FOR SALE:
The owner has taken on a full-time role elsewhere.
IDEAL BUYER:
A first-time buyer looking for a low-hours business, or a print, embroidery or workwear company adding customers.
The business supplies high-quality branded embroidered workwear and corporate apparel to SMEs throughout the UK, with a particular concentration in Oxfordshire, Warwickshire and Gloucestershire. It operates exclusively on a B2B basis, providing uniforms, workwear, office wear, sportswear and some school wear (sold directly to schools, not parents).
Services include garment sourcing, branding consultation, embroidery and print management, and direct delivery to clients. All production is outsourced to a trusted embroidery partner in Portsmouth, with goods shipped directly to customers, meaning no stock is held.
The business is owner-operated with support from a freelance lead generation specialist. Its success is driven by exemplary customer service, expert guidance, durable high-quality brands and consistently quick turnaround times. Clients value the single point of contact, reliable batch consistency and efficient top-up ordering process.
The business offers clear and realistic growth opportunities. Historically, growth has been driven by word-of-mouth referrals and Google Ads, both of which have proven effective. Paid advertising and cold calling are currently paused, presenting immediate scope for a proactive marketing relaunch.
There is potential to expand geographically across the UK through targeted digital campaigns and structured outbound sales. Increasing investment in Google Ads and implementing a more systematic lead generation strategy could materially grow revenues.
Additional opportunities include expanding school uniform supply directly to schools, broadening promotional merchandise offerings, or introducing contract-based supply agreements for larger teams. With its relocatable model, strong reputation and streamlined operations, the business is well positioned for scalable expansion under new ownership.
