Our core values guide the way we do business. They sum up what our business stands for, influence our organisation culture and drive why we do things. It is expected that our team live and breathe the following values:

Do the right thing – We take active responsibility for delivering the best blanks at the best price while ensuring we are ethical and transparent in our processes. Empowered individually and as a team, we make changes and take proactive decisions autonomously to do the right thing by our customers and suppliers. Our principals are never compromised.

Work together – acting as one we deliver a sum greater than our individual parts. Our varied skills and resources broaden and enhance the personalised solutions we offer distributors, customers and end users. We achieve so much more by collaborating closely with our teams, clients. and suppliers.

Do it with passion – We are passionate about the impact our clothing makes to those who make it, our team, the businesses who sell it and those who wear it. We want to deliver unrivalled quality, value and choice that is right each time. Our passion gives us the energy, courage and care to go beyond the expected. We love what we do.

Do what you can to make the world a better place – We do what we can to make the world a better place. Continually looking for opportunities to make a positive change both near and far, breaking old patterns to deliver real improvements and lead the way.

Never stand still – Change is constant, that’s why we never stand still – we adapt, and generate innovations based on leading the market and offering curated options, this means listening, learning and evolving. We are humble and genuine in our pursuit of being better every day.
