This week's tip: get the sizes right first time.

Ordering clothing for your team? Guessing sizes sounds quicker, but it costs you twice - once when the garment does not fit, and again when you have to reorder in a hurry. A tape measure and a simple size chart take minutes and save all that swapping back and forth.

It matters for comfort too. Clothing that is too tight gets left in the van, and clothing that is too baggy snags on machinery. Neither does your health and safety record any favours.

Not sure where to start? We can talk you through the size ranges on every garment we supply, from polos and jackets to safety boots. Call 01827 302 848 or email [email protected] and we will get your team sorted.

It's here! Our free Workwear Stock Control Sheet is ready to download: https://cdn.marblism.com/l5l8j_6Jcl1.xlsx

We know how it goes. You're sure you ordered polos recently, but nobody can find them. Someone's hi-viz has gone missing again. And it turns out three of the team are working in jackets held together by optimism.

One print-friendly A4 page fixes all that:
- A count grid per team member: polos, tees, trousers, jacket, hi-viz, boots and gloves
- A condition column, so you spot the worn-out items before they let you down
- A reorder flag, so you order in good time instead of panic buying
- A simple how-to legend, so the whole team can use it

Print it off, fill it in, keep it in the site office or the van. One cup of tea a month and you'll always know what clothing you have and what's needed.

Free download, right here: https://cdn.marblism.com/l5l8j_6Jcl1.xlsx

And when it tells you it's time to top up, we've got branded polo shirts, sweatshirts, hi-viz and more, embroidered or printed with your logo.

That moment when the rain arrives at 9am and your team's soaked by 10... we've all been there!

Two things that genuinely help:

Layers instead of one heavy coat. A waterproof over a polo or sweatshirt keeps the team comfortable all shift, and they can adjust as the weather changes.

A dry set of spares in the van. Dry clothing at lunchtime changes the whole mood of an afternoon. Damp workwear hung on pegs overnight is never quite dry by morning.

Our wet-weather range has you covered, from the Portwest Classic Rain Jacket to over-trousers, all available with your logo embroidered.

And keep an eye out on Wednesday: we're giving away a free Workwear Stock Control Sheet that makes tracking everyone's clothing genuinely easy.

Quick question for your Monday: if a hi-viz jacket went missing from the van tomorrow, would anyone notice before winter?

We ask because that is exactly the kind of thing a simple stock list catches. When kit is counted, you spot the gaps early, order before you are desperate, and stop spending twice on things you already own three of.

Easy wins for keeping tabs on workwear:

• One kit list per team member: polos, tees, trousers, jacket, hi-viz, boots, gloves.
• Check condition, not just numbers. Faded hi-viz and worn-out gloves are not really stock.
• Flag items for reorder before they run out, especially with new starters on the way.
• A quick monthly count beats a panic buy every time.

Feeling organised? We are putting out a free, print-friendly workwear stock control sheet this Wednesday. One page, a count grid per person, a condition column and a reorder flag. Look out for the download link here.

Want the kit itself sorted too? We supply and brand workwear from Uneek, Russell, Regatta, Gildan and more for construction, manufacturing and maintenance teams.

Call 01827 302 848 or email [email protected]. We are happy to help!

Working outside when the weather is cold and/or icy brings risks. The obvious one is slippery surfaces, but staying warm outside is important as well. Layering your clothing, wearing thin layers rather than one bulky item will mean you will have some control over how warm or cold you feel. Here at Office Business Supplies, we have a massive range of out door clothes from the top B2B brands at very competitive prices. We have plenty in stock and hi viz clothes can be printed with your company logo. Shell jackets, fleeces, polo's etc can be embroidered with your company logo. Call 01827 302848 or have a look at these https://www.officebusinesssupplies.net/jackets--4 or email [email protected]

It’s Monday and it’s getting colder and wetter..If you are working outside on a roof or someone’s drive or plot…make sure you stay dry ..if you are thinking about how wet you are, you are not thinking about how safe you are. Also get wet and cold means you might come done with a cold or cough and then you might end up being too ill to work and then you are not earning any money. All because you didn’t bring anything to keep you dry in wet weather….if you don’t have proper water proof trousers or a waterproof jacket give us a call ☎️ 01827 302848 and we can send you pictures, samples and prices that’s 01827 302848

Here is the next post in series about how to order workwear if you have never done it before. So you have had a consultation with your team, decided on what they are going to wear and that will include any ethnic requirements and special requests. You also have a colour in mind and you have a logo. So here are the next steps.

1. Find a supplier - they don't have to be local, but they should have a decent website which shows all the brands and sizes, colours and importantly - prices and delivery charges. They are the experts so ask them questions and any concerns you might have

2. They should be able to print and/or embroider on the clothing. Some don't offer an embroidery/ print service them selves.

3. They should be able to offer a sample service. This is not normally free unless you view the samples, return them in an unworn condition within 30 days and there will be no charge. If you keep them or return them damaged or with signs you have worn them, they will charge you the cost of the clothes. Different companies have different rules, so do check this.

4. They should have plenty of brands on offer. Look for Uneek, Gildan, Orn, Fruit of the Loom etc...

5. Don't buy cheap... you really get what you pay for with workwear and don't buy every one " one each " to save money. One to wash and one to wear should be the minimum for polo's and T Shirts. A decent workwear brand from someone like Uneek or Orn should last two years, maybe a bit longer.

6. Order in plenty of time. Lead times for clothing can vary depending on the time of the year. July/August is very busy. So allow at least 7/14 days to be on the safe side, especially if you are wearing them for an event.

So watch out for the next one - if you have any questions give us a call on 01827 302848 or email [email protected]
