corporatewear for the past 15 years. Taking over from Graham Horn, who has retired, Ian will manage Incorporatewear’s expanding portfolio of bus and rail operators. His role means he is involved in the entire process of delivering uniforms from responding to briefs, through initial designs to range launches and ongoing management of accounts. Several of the bus and rail businesses in his portfolio of accounts are either developing new ranges or in the process of introducing new uniform designs. He said: “Bus and rail companies are taking advantage of new modern and technical performance fabrics within their uniforms, and design has a hugely significant role in building brand awareness, which has never been more important for businesses in this sector. There is much greater awareness and interest in uniforms from our bus and rail customers and their stakeholders. It is an exciting time to join Incorporatewear.” Bus and rail companies are among those utilising Incorporatewear’s market leading web ordering and uniform management processes. They see uniform as important in maintaining workforce morale. Mr Marvin adds: “Wearers are looking
for modern, well-fitted and comfortable uniforms that will perform to their individual requirements. Because there are a variety of roles within bus and rail businesses, their uniforms must be fit for purpose. We are designing uniforms that offer greater comfort using stretch fabrics with softer materials that are often lighter than previously used but offer superior performance. The result is a uniform that is easy to care for and that wearers can take pride in as they do their work.”
