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.

They can always be returned to us for a refund when you have assessed them. We are sure you will not be disappointed.
