About AWB

AWB have been supporting healthcare professionals and patients with scrub suits and garments for over 75 years. In fact, we have been supplying the NHS since before it was the NHS and we are proud to continue to do so.

For more than three quarters of a century AWB have honed and developed our expertise in the healthcare apparel sector. As well as our own bespoke range of products we have sought out and selected like-minded brands and suppliers to deliver the high-quality range of products that healthcare professionals have come to expect from our trusted family company.

We are AWB: Always Wear Better.

Innovation runs in the family. Established in 1946 our grandfather, Dennis William Cook saw an opportunity to create a specialist firm to supply the healthcare industry with medical apparel. He acquired A.W. Bent Limited, a well-established hat-lining business in Luton and shifted its focus to the manufacture of healthcare apparel.

The business was relocated to Cornwall in the 1960s and Dennis’ sons; Cedric, Bill and Ross continued to take the business forward. The second generation of Cooks to run A.W. Bent (including our fathers) introduced additional product lines, diversified the supply chain and grew the business.

In 2023, the business was passed to the third generation of Cooks, (Greg and James) and we are committed to carry on our family’s legacy and continue to provide quality products to the healthcare sector.
