PEOPLE
AT JERMYN STREET DESIGN, WE BELIEVE NO-ONE IS UNIFORM. THIS BELIEF NOT ONLY SHAPES OUR SUCCESS AT DESIGNING FOR REAL PEOPLE DOING SPECIFIC JOBS ACROSS DIVERSE INDUSTRIES, CULTURES AND COUNTRIES. IT ALSO SHAPES THE DIVERSE SKILLS AND PERSONALITIES THAT MAKE UP OUR OWN INTERNAL TEAMS AND THE RANGE OF EXPERTISE WE BRING TO ENABLING THE ENTIRE LIFECYCLE OF OUR CLIENTS’ BRAND-BUILDING UNIFORMS AND OTHER CUSTOM WORKWEAR.
THOSE EXPERT SKILLS AND OUR COLLECTIVE EXPERIENCE RANGE FROM CREATIVE DESIGN THROUGH TECHNICAL DEVELOPMENT AND MANUFACTURING TO ALL ASPECTS OF DISTRIBUTION AND OPERATIONS. FURTHER CROSS-CAPABILITY TEAMS TACKLE TOPICS TOGETHER SUCH AS REAL BODY-SHAPE ANALYTICS, RIGHT-SIZING TECHNOLOGIES, DURABILITY INDEXING, SUSTAINABILITY AND PERSONAL PROTECTIVE UNIFORMS [PPU]. YOU CAN READ HERE ABOUT OUR LEADERSHIP AND A SELECTION OF OTHER DIVERSE TEAM MEMBERS.
WE KNOW ONE SIZE DOES NOT FIT ALL IN TERMS OF OUR CLIENTS’ DIVERSE OPERATIONS. WE ADAPT AND ORGANISE OUR CLIENT TEAMS AND PROCESSES TO FIT EACH CLIENT’S SPECIFIC NEEDS AND FOR MAXIMUM OPERATIONAL AND COST-EFFICIENCY. WE KNOW VERY WELL THAT NO TWO CLIENTS’ OPERATIONS, PRIORITIES OR RESOURCES ARE EVER THE SAME.
