Clothes2Order invest £100,000 and cheer rapid growth

Trafford Park uniform supplier Clothes2Order has announced a £100,000 investment after a surge in demand for their products.

The company said staff numbers have reached a record high, and their investment will go towards new equipment to keep up with demand.

Clothes2Order purchased a 1.3 tonne machine for printing logos on different garments, and enlarged its workforce from 28 to 41.

The firm hopes its latest equipment investment will boost its digital printing capacity by 60%, while in June alone orders were 174% higher that June 2012.

Managing director, Michael Conway, commented: “Demand has rocketed following the launch of our new branding and website, and has outstripped capacity even after the earlier investment of £150,000 in new machinery.

“This latest equipment is one of only five currently in use in the UK and is one of the most advanced of its kind available.

“Its arrival ensures we will be able to maintain our speed and reliability of production as we look to continue to grow our market share.”

This latest investment follows a £150,000 outlay on additional printing and embroidery equipment earlier in the summer and a £100,000 investment in the company website.

Clothes2Order’s client list includes well-known names such as Deloitte, National Express and Best Western hotels.

The uniform supplier works with more than 5,000 businesses, ranging from start-ups to web giants such as Google, Skype and eBay.
