Brand Focus - Henbury

Henbury

Each month we intend to publish a blog that highlights one of our main brands. This month we are going to look at Henbury. Taken from Henbury’s own marketing information they describe themselves as a brand with “classic, easy to wear styles for the modern corporate market”. We would agree this certainly sums up the Henbury brand and where they sit within the personalised clothing market.

A brief history of the brand. Established in 1997 with the aim of providing corporate, promotional and workwear clothing with fully co-ordinated styles for men, women and children, the brand grew quickly and soon established itself as one the UK’s market leading brands for polo shirts, t-shirts, sweatshirts, woven trousers, and shirts. From an initial range of 5 polo shirts the brand has grown to be one of the key manufacturers within the UK corporate and workwear market. Their key marketing message throughout that time has been that “clothes for work need to do exactly that, work”.



Here at JKL Clothing we have stocked and promoted the Henbury brand for over 10 years. During that time, we have seen many of our clients switch to using it as their staple uniform brand choice. One of the main reasons for this is the co-ordination of styles for both men and women. Many companies we deal with have company colours that they want to maintain through their uniform choice. Having the ability to order a polo shirt for example, with a male and female fit in the same shade of colour is a big plus when they come to choose a brand from which to have their staff uniform personalised. Continuity is also key to brand choice. A company does not want to provide a personalised staff uniform to their workforce only to see it then be discontinued within a year and any new starters then provided with uniform different to the rest of the workforce.

We think that the following line best describes what Henbury are all about.

“a co-ordinated range of leisure clothing for the corporate, promotional and workwear markets”

This is Henbury in a nutshell. Not the cheapest out there and perhaps not the biggest range, although there is certainly enough choices of styles, colours, and sizes to meet the most demanding buyer. But certainly, one of our top performing brands that we go to time after time when recommending a clothing brand for almost any workplace.



It is the garment decoration that sets the clothing off and provides our customers with that bespoke uniform they need to advertise their business and clothe their staff. We have been customising the Henbury brand for over 10 years mainly using embroidery and the chosen method. Our embroidery machines produce the highest quality finished embroidered garment product enhancing the clothing item and promoting the company all at the same time. Embroidered clothing using the Henbury brand has seen many of our clients return to us time after time for their staff uniform and workwear requirements. If you are new to JKL Clothing and looking for embroidered staff uniform or workwear we would highly recommend the Henbury brand. Why not see for yourself. Order samples through our website https://www.jklclothing.co.uk/b-henbury-32.aspx Try the garments on for size, feel and suitability. They can always be returned to us for a refund when you have assessed them. We are sure you will not be disappointed.

Personalised Winter Work Uniform

 



Personalised Winter Work Uniform

As Autumn gradually makes way for winter it is the time of year when many businesses are looking to update their winter work uniform in preparation for the coming colder months.

If you are looking to provide staff who work permanently outside with customised winter clothing or wanting to supply your employees with a winter jacket for the times when they need to venture out into the cold weather now is a good time to order your personalised winter gear.

The most obvious winter item of clothing to provide an employee is a winter coat, but personalised cold weather garments can be more than just a jacket. A full winter uniform can consist of thicker and warmer trousers, long sleeve under garments, such as long sleeve polo shirts and a warm mid layer such as a sweatshirt or knitted jumper. Whatever your winter uniform choice you will find a wide range from which to chose at JKL Clothing. All our garments can be embroidered with your company logo to ensure your staff look smart and advertise your business in the best possible way. A warm member of staff will undoubtably mean that they are comfortable when working outside or in a cold warehouse and therefore more productive.

Ordering a customised work uniform from JKL Clothing could not be easier. You can visit our website and view our wide range of work staff uniform items or send an enquiry and one of our staff will recommend the most suitable garments to choose.
