Bringing Personality and Professionalism to Your Uniform

Medical scrubs replaced the traditional nurses uniforms in the 1960s, as an easy to clean and cheap to replace alternative. Since this introduction, their popularity has grown and they are no longer just seen as a medical uniform, but used by a wide variety of employers. Whilst they are now available in a range of colours and styles they can sometimes seem very plain, but embroidered scrubs can help you to stand out and to build and enhance your brand awareness.

We have been a leading supplier of medical uniforms for over 60 years and within that time we have experienced many innovations in embroidery. With the introduction of digital embroidery machines, it is possible to create any logo, symbol or design. Our machines allow us to produce designs up to 10cm x 4cm with a number of fonts and colours available. We can create logos and add names and additional text to help identify employees and their roles within your business.

Four-head embroidery machine

We have two four-headed embroidery machines and 1 single head machine. We can, therefore, embroider 9 garments at one time across all of our machines. We use the four-headed machines for large orders and the singe headed machine for small, individual orders of 1 – 2 items.

It takes on average 10 minutes to embroider a garment. A simple, small design might take 5 minutes and a larger, heavily detailed design can take up to 20 minutes. Our machines are working full time as the majority of our orders now require embroidery, that takes us into 10’s of thousands of embroidered scrubs that leave our busy warehouse each year!

As Director of Business Development, I see my role as building long term sustainable relationships with customers across all our market sectors, providing the best possible uniform solution suiting the customers image, focus and budget. Having joined the company in 1993, I have over 30 years experience in healthcare clothing and uniform covering the evolution of AWB Textiles from a soley hospital focused textile provider to the broad spectrum healthcare uniform supplier we have become today. I’m also on the national exec of the Society of Hospital Laundry and Linen Service Managers. I’m proud of the history and heritage of AWB and this drives me to provide our customers with the best possible service and the latest innovations in healthcare uniform, be it in style,  function,  fabrics or sustainability. Out of work, I love to travel ( particularly Greece and Italy ), tragically I’m a Stoke City football fan and I love to walk our little Blenheim Cavvie ‘Beau’ around our lovely local area.
