Corporate clothing firm wins extended contract

MIDLAND based corporate clothing manufacturer Incorporatewear has secured an extended contract with bus operator London United to supply new uniforms.

The roll out in October will see around 2,000 drivers wearing the new navy and white outfit around the capital.

London United, previously known as Transdev, began working with Coleshill-based Incorporatewear two years ago. Now with new ownership, the Twickenham-based bus company has extended its contract for four more years.

Brian Rafferty, purchasing manager at London United, said: “We originally chose Incorporatewear following an extensive tender process as they demonstrated the right mix of quality, service, price and support systems that best fit our needs.

“Following a merger with our parent company, we elected to renew with Incorporatewear as they were best able to respond to our desire to rebrand the uniform in the shortest time frame.”

The new uniform will include navy men’s and ladies tailored trousers, long sleeve jumpers, knitted tank tops, white long and short sleeve shirts, driver bags and striped ties in the London United livery.

Incorporatewear originally won the contract after wearer trials received rave reviews from the bus company’s staff.

London United employs more than 2,000 staff and maintains a fleet of 885 buses.
