Workwear Solutions operates with a lean and agile CORE of outstanding technical talent (both employed and self-employed) working across all projects; a larger CIRCLE of often highly specialist international talents, partners and suppliers contracted as needed on a project-by-project basis; and a far wider and ever-evolving COMMUNITY of further experts and innovators engaged for specific project-driven collaborations.
Drawing on a combination of employed and freelance resource means we have a solid CORE team available for all projects, a wider CIRCLE of experts who are confirmed for specific projects and a COMMUNITY of other individuals and companies to ensure we have the best in class team, and only engage with the relevant team members on each project – so you aren’t paying for any team member not required, but can be assured that the right team will be available as and when you need them.
