History

Founded by Lewis Calder in 1987, we began in a humble garage supplying basic workwear and PPE requirements to local businesses throughout Northampton. Growing in concentric circles to becoming a nationwide supplier; the second and third generations are on a journey with a bright future of further growth ahead.
