We cut admin, reduce costs, save time, and help lower your carbon footprint by consolidating your supply chain into one trusted source.
What happens after you place your order?
Take a look behind-the-scenes at how we manage your order from start to finish.
From processing and in-house branding to packing and delivery, every stage is carefully managed to make sure your team gets exactly what they need, on time.
We keep things simple, accurate and efficient so you can focus on the job at hand.
Our product range is backed by a 50,000 sq ft distribution centre that operates 24 hours a day.
This means we can hold more stock, respond faster to urgent orders, and keep your supply chain moving.
Whether it’s everyday essentials or specialist items, we’ve built our logistics around reliability, speed, and scale.
Get your team looking professional, consistent, and ready for the job with our in-house embroidery and heat-seal services.
We’ll help you choose the right garments, add your branding, and make sure everything meets your standards before it reaches your team.
With more capacity coming soon, we’re making it even easier to get high-quality branded workwear from one reliable source.
“We’ve used SMI exclusively for the past 3 years, and moving to a single source supplier was a great decision.
The MY-SMI® platform has improved PPE provision across the business and has been tailored to suit our needs.
Staff are listed by depot or department, and site managers can only order pre-approved items.
This means the right PPE is ordered without constant oversight.
The product range is excellent, ROKWEAR® quality is impressive, and it’s great value for money.
Deliveries are always on time, and support is there when needed.”
