Hoydens Workwear makes workwear designed for the female body Q
ualified painter and decorator, Annie Bowman, has designed a range of workwear especially for women.
Ms Bowman formed Hoydens
Workwear in Sheffield and has worked closely with a production laboratory and a Portuguese manufacturer to design work trousers that have stretch where it is needed, a higher waistband and in a material that responds to the needs of women.

job and while there is no definite evidence to support it, we feel it's possible that it's this sense of feeling uncomfortable or out of place in the workplace that discourages young women from considering a career in electrical or heating and plumbing professions.” Five of JTL's female apprentices tried on the new trousers and the response was unanimous – they were the best workwear trousers they had ever worn.
Ms Bowman said: "It was wonderful to see these girls genuinely chuffed with the new workwear we provided and to realise that there is a lot more to be said about designing and producing a range of workwear for young women here in the UK."

unaffected by the rebrand and the company is still the exclusive UK dealer for; M&R, BBC Industries, Amex, Easiway Systems, Tekmar, Panther
Dryers, Ryonet and more. Nothing has really changed other than the name and a few new additions to the team, who visitors to Printwear & Promotion LIVE! in January will be able to meet.
