Creative flair and technical know-how underpin our approach to design and product development. Working across multiple industries, product categories and country-markets, we bring innovative in-sight by sharing best practices across our client portfolio. Combined with our extensive understanding of sizing and fit, fabric selection, garment construction and global manufacturing processes - we help our clients to look, feel and perform their best.

Detailed technical specifications are developed for our clients in preparation for going to tender, providing clear information for tenderers to produce samples for assessment. Beyond the tender process, these documents contain all the product information required to develop products – from the first pre-production sample through to bulk production. These are an important tool to ensure the correct product quality and compliance throughout the contract life.

At the forefront of inclusive PPE across the UK and Europe, our team develop inclusive solutions that work for every body, within the ever-changing regulatory landscape. We work with our clients to develop the best fits for their specific workforce, taking into account their operational environments and tasks, and offering innovative solutions to ensure inclusivity that benefits all.

Wearer trials are an important part of evaluation of new or updated products, but conducting them can be complex and often difficult to assess objectively. We provide independent wearer trial assessment for our clients, either as part of a tender process or throughout the life of a contract. Our approach ensures evaluation transparency with data driven reports and evidence-based feedback.

With a deep understanding of the tender process from both the supplier and buyer perspectives, the procurement insight and experience offered to our clients helps facilitate more effective and competitive processes. Services include preparation of documents for release to market, independent technical assessment of sample requests, evaluation of supply chain maps/audit information and qualitative written responses.

Our independent technical scoring and evaluation services are a ‘game-changer’ according to our clients. By establishing transparent sample requirements and assessment criteria in the tender documentation, along with clear measurements and tolerances within the specifications, we are able to assess the tender samples and provide comprehensive reports for each product. This level of transparency and consistency is important to reduce the risk of challenge.

We proactively reduce risks by: developing robust product specifications; overseeing sampling, manufacturing and certification phases, and providing SA 8000 compliant social and ethical auditing of supply chains. Each contract is supported by project specific critical paths and range plans to track and monitor progress with on-going compliance reporting linked to purchase orders, delivery dates and quality assurance.

When it comes to ensuring product safety, quality and compliance, understanding testing and certification requirements is fundamental. We specify the requirements for fabric, component and product testing and certification to ensure durability, quality and on-going compliance. Our expertise in testing and certification compliance gives our clients the confidence that they’re purchasing the right product for their specific needs.
