Can anyone recommend a supplier of workwear / uniforms please? I know of Alexandra Workwear but wondered if there are any other good companies people use...

Need to get a quote (and preferably samples) for following:

Male healthcare tunics
Female healthcare tunics
Male shirts
Female shirts
Female blouses

all in the colour 'teal' and cost of embroidery.


Cheers folks

hi mate, i work for NHS procurement and closely with laundry services.

We use alexandra, buckley lamb and meltemi on our framework contracts (i.e. the bulk of our orders)

are you actually buying for a healthcare setting as I think there are some restrictions on who can buy what (i.e. I can't buy a nurses uniform to pretend to be one)

We use Bunzl at work, not sure if theyl do what u want though

cheers for all the names and links people. Will give them a call tomorrow.

cd.thomson - yes, it is for a healthcare setting but as the colour is not like any nurses uniform it will be fine. plus it will be ordered through the NHS anyway.

Ditto Arco, but quite expensive.
