Clothing company recruits 25 staff, linked to £550k investment
A Manchester clothing company has created 25 jobs following a strong recovery after the ending of COVID restrictions.
Clothes2order.com has recruited new staff across its manufacturing, customer service and web development teams.
The company has made investments of more than £550,000 in its Trafford Park manufacturing base, systems and technology improvements, and growing its sales and marketing teams. These investments have led to a strong sales performance and the requirement to significantly expand the workforce for the second time in less than 12 months.
The firm, which celebrated 25 years in business last year, supplies a wide customer base both in the UK and internationally – from promotional clothing for blue chips like Amazon and Google, to workwear and uniforms for restaurant chains, all the way through to embroidered polo shirts for local plumbers.
Orders are fulfilled from the Trafford Park site which already supports more than 160 textiles jobs, printing and embroidering company logos and designs onto clothing.
Managing director, Sam Jones, said: “It’s always great to be in a position to create new jobs and we look forward to welcoming in a new cohort to the Clothes2order team to help us continue our growth.
“Our strong performance this year has shown we’re on the right track, relentlessly focusing on quality, speed, customer service and reliability. Our customers want their orders fast and our industry-leading stock position and on site manufacturing facilities are key to ensuring we can produce and deliver reliably.”
He added: “New equipment has also opened up new markets for us, with an enhanced ability to customise sports and athleisure clothing we are seeing growth across the teamwear and fitness sectors in particular.
“Our investment and recruitment strategy not only meets current demand, but enables us to go after continued growth in the years to come. We have invested in exciting new channels as well as bolstering our sales team and improving our ecommerce offering to continue making things easier for our customers.”
