New MyWorkwear ‘Responsive’ Website Goes Live On Mobile and ipad
Following huge growth in the number of visitors using our website via mobiles and tablets we have responded by creating the first workwear website to feature ‘responsive design’. As part of a major enhancement of our website customers can now enjoy a great user experience on all devices whilst on the go.
Using and ordering from MyWorkwear has never been more convenient and it is now possible to browse our site, check your order and buy your workwear anywhere, even down at the pub! Thanks to our mobile friendly design, the new site automatically adapts to the format the visitor is using from mobile to cinema sized projection. Should you visit us on a mobile all the information you need is now displayed clearly and features great functionality.
Making the site operate to a class leading standard on mobiles and tablets was the number one brief given to the designers. Smart phones and ipads offer a unique challenge to design as they incorporate touch screen technology and completely change how the customer interacts with the web. The new site is now one of the first within the workwear sector to provide a fluid buying experience for the ‘i generation’ and will continue our commitment to remaining at the forefront of online technology.
We have also had a major design makeover. The new website features improved presentation with fresh artwork and navigation. This has created a fantastic customer experience and allows for a faster purchasing cycle. Having built on a completely new template we have used customer feedback and data research to enhance in terms of both aesthetics and functionality.
Many of the advancements in the new site format have centered on creating a more uniform feel. A more consistent approach to all pages along with a large number of subtle enhancements have also further improved the way the site operates. These include improved navigation features along with the removal of unnecessary text and imagery, making for faster load times.
Although we are delighted with the latest incarnation of the MyWorkwear website we will continue to monitor how visitors respond to using our new website and feedback both positive or negative is most welcome. Should you feel the need to comment, or have any suggestions as to how we can further improve any aspect of our website please contact us either by telephone on 01952 585 881 or via email: sales@myworkwear.co.uk.

Planning to hit the garden? Save on 5 Essential Clothing Purchases
Spring has sprung, UK style and that means one thing, lots of rain and it’s freezing! On a less sarcastic note this is the time of the year the green figured amongst us head for the garden centres in search of potted plants and barbeque gear in the faint hope this might just be the year the sun shines.
Here at My Workwear we can help you look the part in a number of practical, yet stylish garments, designed to make you at least feel good, even if the garden doesn’t turn out as good as on Blue Peter. All our garden workwear items are available for embroidery should you really want to show off to the neighbours and we are confident you will save money when you purchase from us when compared to the famously expensive garden centres.
1. Premier Deluxe Bib Apron
An excellent choice and costing less than £13 a Premier bib apron will help you keep clean and protect your clothing from marks. Available in a wide range of colours, should you really want to save money then the garment could be cleaned and be used in the kitchen as well!
2. Regatta Knee Pads
When pruning the garden, you spend a large amount of time on your knees and this can be uncomfortable and ruin your trousers. The Regatta knee pads solve this problem, providing a comfortable base to kneel on and protecting against harm to you or your clothing.
3. Portwest Canadian Rigger Gloves
At only £1.50 no self respecting gardener would be without a pair of gloves. A must have when clearing the rubbish, ripping out the weeds or any number of jobs you can think of. Also protects against disease. The Portwest gloves are both hard wearing and flexible to allow you to get your outdoor tasks completed with the minimum of fuss.
4. Pan View Protective Spectacles
Okay so we are not trying to follow the trend of health and safety overkill, but many jobs in the garden do require eye protection. The Portwest pan view spectacles not only look good they protect you from eye damage when attempting jobs such as trimming the hedge or using garden machinery.
5. Castle Cargo Trousers
A good pair of cargo trousers are a must for the keen gardener. Leave them in the shed and just throw them on when the gardening urge gets the better of you. Definitely beats destroying a good pair of jeans or having to wear old clothing that makes you look so bad you could be mistaken for a scarecrow!

Rylan Clark Hits The Daily Mail in My Workwear.
Celebrity Big Brother star Rylan Clark has done a fine job in helping promote My Workwear’s range of clothing. The controversial former tribute band and X Factor star was seen wearing a green workwear shirt supplied by us for the task of pass the pass.
The challenge featured lime light hungry contestants passing items of varied levels of bad taste by mouth to each other. Pass the pass represented one of a number of challenges as part of the weeks ‘against the odds’ theme. We are delighted to say, (or are we?) the task was completed successfully, but more importantly Rylan stood out as the only person in our green shirt!
It would seem British TV now knows no boundaries when it comes to bad taste. In a ratings driven industry I am not sure what it says about us the audience when you consider the following list of props; pig tongue, squid, bull penis, sick bag and fermented duck egg. Still were not bothered, Rylan looked great in our shirt.
Even better news for us, Rylan Clark was featured in all the tabloid newspapers sporting our workwear with the Daily Mail displaying a great shot of him. Not that we claim to be a fashion store and prefer to focus on providing great embroidery and work clothing, should you wish to dress for business like a Big Brother celebrity or green is for you, the link below could be the place to visit:
Channel 5 has developed a real appetite for My Workwear and has hinted at requiring more clothing from us. In-fact we have had enquiries about a number of very different items from our range. However, we are sworn to secrecy and even have to sign an agreement not to divulge such privilege information. The question we ask ourselves is would people really be that desperate to know what contestants will be wearing the next time they make a fool of themselves on Big Brother? For us it is great publicity and fun to see our clothes on TV, but as for the whole celebrity obsession thing I’m not sure it’s quite us! Unless, of course somebody would like to make us an offer we cannot refuse.
Right then, that’s enough celebrity nonsense, now back to providing workwear to our hard working customers in the real world.
