Dickies Workwear Grows A Size Larger Williamson-Dickie Europe Limited, the UK based subsidiary of the World’s largest privately owned workwear company is expanding its Somerset warehousing and distribution facilities to 100,000 sq.ft. The additional space will provide a 50% increase in storage capacity allowing greater stock availability and a faster, 24 hour delivery service to its customers.
Announcing the new warehouse extension, the company’s managing director Mark Strange said: “Despite the economic downturn, sales of our products continue to grow and it is our chief priority to ensure that our customers have sufficient stock at all times to satisfy consumer demand.” The groundwork on the new extension has just commenced and it is planned for the building to be completed by September 2011 ready for the fitting out of special racking and the adoption of the most efficient warehousing operation system, options for which are currently being researched. The Radstock, Somerset distribution centre already manages well over 2 million items each year supplying products to 4,000 outlets throughout the UK and Ireland with others now expanding further into Europe and the Middle East.
American owned, the UK company was formed in 1989; since then the brand has continued to develop its range and markets to achieve its current status as one of the leading workwear manufacturers and suppliers in the UK, producing coveralls, work shirts and trousers, jackets, bodywarmers, foul weather protection, high visibility garments, and a comprehensive range of safety footwear.

Will Be Dressed In MASCOT As of the 1st January, Falck Denmark and MASCOT have entered into an agreement to supply a workwear solution.
“It is a very important agreement, which has been made”, states MASCOT’s Nordic Sales Director, Henrik Bach. “We are not only dressing 9,000 Falck employees in Denmark but also employees and sub contractors in Norway and Sweden. Furthermore, Falck is a global company with great wishes for expansion, so who knows where it might lead”, says Henrik Bach. Falck also handles Ambulance Transport and Rescue Service in for instance Belgium, Slovakia, Poland, Brazil and USA.
There are many reasons as to why Falck made the final decision of choosing
MASCOT as their workwear supplier. The Group Procurement Director at Falck, Morten B. Jacobsen states “Not only does MASCOT have the right product range and a solution oriented attitude. MASCOT has shown itself as a complete supplier, who can solve many of our everyday problems”. “With MASCOT we in general achieve a substantial boost in the quality of fabric, durability and design. MASCOT also handles part of the administration of the workwear for us. Partly through the web ordering solution - MASCOT® SmartStore, and partly through the company’s effective logistics which enables MASCOT to efficiently pack the workwear in individual boxes for each employee”, says Morten B. Jacobsen.
