ArrowXL, the UK’s largest and longest established two-person home delivery specialist, has appointed Contego Safety Solutions as their new uniform supplier as part of its commitment to enhancing service efficiency and maintaining a professional corporate image.
The decision to select Contego, a leading national stockist, supplier, and distributor of safety clothing and equipment, comes after a rigorous selection process by the ArrowXL Procurement team; initiated by feedback from employees via the ‘People Forum’ who wanted to appoint a single ‘high quality’ apparel supplier for all of the AXL hubs.
Contego will provide ArrowXL with over 10,000 items of clothing a year for their driver and warehouse teams and will run a number of training sessions across the AXL sites to provide web portal demonstrations for all customer service staff. The web portal will reduce ordering times and deliver cost efficiency through bulk orders.
They will also supply a new high-performance t-shirt, designed in collaboration with the AXL team, featuring moisture-wicking fabric to ensure comfort and functionality during day-to-day operations. The new uniform will be provided to all of AXL’s delivery crew reflecting a unified and professional appearance consistent with the company's brand values.
Rob Collins, Relationship Manager at Contego Safety Solutions commented: “Working in partnership with key stakeholders across the ArrowXL business we’ve designed an easy to wear uniform range that’s functional and long-lasting. We look forward to working with their team to roll this out across the business.”
“This partnership underscores our dedication to providing our employees with the best tools and apparel to deliver exceptional service to our customers," said Ian Pearson, Procurement Manager at ArrowXL. “We are excited to partner with Contego whose reputation for superior quality and their MI capabilities were key factors in our decision. The portal will provide us with better data, helping us to track spend, usage and the performance of their products."
