Workwear firm to create 100 new North East jobs following ‘record’ year

A North East workwear specialist is set to create 100 new jobs in the region following a ‘record’ year.

Durham-based Workwear Express is recruiting an additional 100 staff after partnering with St John Ambulance and Royal Voluntary Service to kit out COVID-19 vaccinators and volunteers.

The personalised clothing and workwear firm has seen a 30 per cent increase in sales in the last 12 months.

The firm has ambitions to become Europe’s most successful customised workwear, PPE and promotional clothing provider, as well as planning to expand internationally into North America later this year.

Steven Curran, CEO of Workwear Express, commented: “We are looking forward to onboarding our new recruits. One of our key strengths at Workwear Express is our unique insight into clients’ needs, coupled with offering the best people and innovative technology.

“We empower each and every one of our Workwear Express colleagues and treat them as individuals with fair compensation, generous benefits and a stimulating environment where they can thrive.

“We believe that when we care about our employees, they will apply the same level of care to our customers — here at Workwear Express, you’re not just starting a job, you’re starting a career.”
