Innovation

A&D were the first to introduce a database of wearer’s uniform sizes and history of supply by employee for the corporate wear market, now referred to as a "wardrobe management".

A&D were the fist to offer custom fitting and issuing vehicles with comfortable and practical interiors and on board changing facilities to ensure garments can be issued anywhere in Europe and will fit first time.

We introduced the customer wardrobe information and on line ordering facility ClientZone. With our new state of the art IT system which is unique to the UK market we have implemented our supplier web information system, SupplierZone which optimises control of our supply base to ensure delivery performance and quality are maintained.

We are already offering the latest eProcurement technology links with customers via various standard and non standard means. Terms such as “punch out”, EDI, cXML etc whilst alien to many corporate wear suppliers are an integral part of our management offering, and all implemented in house to your requirements and timetable.

"Design is not just about what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it performs"

This sums up the belief shared by the A&D garment design team. While our roots are in the world of high street fashion, our passion is for understanding the client’s brand, its people and work environment, enabling us to create unique designs that bring your brand to life.

Our design team frequently works within your environment to fully understand the function of the garment and where comfort and performance is needed. The team research trends, fabrics, silhouettes and key features that can be translated into the realms of corporate wear. The technical team evaluate and refine these ideas to reinforce that the concepts are fit for purpose and work together to research and evolve ideas and concepts to refresh a client’s range.

Our designs can be seen on airlines, trains, buses, hotels, restaurants and in the high street. Take a look at Hilton, Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons', Arriva, Ladbrokes, JD Wetherspoon, Holiday Inn for a small sample of what our design team can offer. We also provide a Design only consultancy service.

We believe in partnerships with our clients. With thirty years of experience in each sector A&D have listened to the ever changing requirements of our client’s and adapted our systems to meet that demand.
