case study: Mytime Active Appoints Taylor Made Designs As Preferred Uniform Supplier
Following a comprehensive competitive tender process, Mytime Active appointed Taylor Made Designs (TMD) to supply workwear to employees across its entire estate of diverse facilities and services.

“Mytime Active is an independent charity responsible for the management of a range of leisure, golf and wellbeing services and facilities across London, Kent, Hampshire and the Midlands” says Jason Stanton, CEO, Mytime Active.

“Across our estate, we have a team in excess of 800 employees operating in an array of roles including catering and hospitality, lifeguards and fitness instructors, grounds maintenance, golf professionals, swim instructors and health professionals – to name just a few. Each role has a specific uniform requirement, so we were looking for a partner who could supply a quality product to a diverse portfolio of needs and to multiple venues through an online platform. I am pleased to say, TMD has proved itself to be the right choice.”

“TMD offers an online stock management and ordering system. The platform acts like a virtual shop window displaying the various approved uniform products for each department and providing information on stock levels, lead times and costs. Our department heads can now manage the uniform requirements of their teams directly, which is hugely improving efficiencies.”

“Prior to the appointment of TMD, uniforms were provided by 11 independent suppliers, which made understanding and managing total stock levels a constant challenge. Now, with TMDs online e-commerce platform, all information is in one place and we have instant access to real time stock levels across the estate at the touch of a button.”

“Working with a leisure uniform specialist has proved its worth. I feel with TMD we have established a true long-term partnership.”

case study: Places Leisure Extends Partnership With Taylor Made Designs
Following a nationwide competitive tender in 2022, Taylor Made Designs was reappointed by Places Leisure as its preferred uniform supplier.

Taylor Made Designs first began working with Places Leisure in 2014. This reappointment cements the partnership for at least a further 3 years.

Speaking about the partnership, Laura Lane, Head of People at Places Leisure, says: “Taylor Made Designs provides uniform to our 4,000 strong Places Leisure team across multiple sites.

“The online ordering process makes it super easy for new orders to be placed directly by individual sites, removing any need for a central function and ensuring garments are delivered quickly and efficiently direct to those who need it. Taylor Made Designs constantly delivers competitively priced, quality workwear to our teams effectively and efficiently which is why have chosen to renew our partnership.”

Taylor Made Designs has been providing specialist customisable workwear and merchandise to some of the biggest operators in the leisure industry for more than 30 years.

James Taylor, Managing Director, says: “Places Leisure continues to be one of our longest running partners and we are delighted that the relationship will continue. We work hard to evolve the uniform range in line with developing fabric technology and style trends, whilst maintaining high service levels and providing the latest SLA and financial reporting data.

This contract extension cements our position as the one of the leading suppliers of uniform and merchandise to the leisure sector.”

case study: Proinsight Chooses Taylor Made Designs' Customisable Water Bottles
Taylor Made Designs (TMD) supplies a range of customisable water bottles, including an uber cool, insulated stainless steel bottle that keeps water cool for hours, providing a refreshing drink long after refilling. Proinsight – a leading customer experience brand working in the leisure and entertainment sectors has invested in the bottles to help keep the team hydrated.

James Taylor, Managing Director, Taylor Made Designs, says: “The custom branded water bottle has been a stable merchandise product in gyms for many years, both as a retail item and as a member reward. Over the last few years, we have seen the popularity of the plastic bottle be superseded by classy ‘Chilly’ style bottles, which have now become a trendy, must have fashion item with wide appeal. Members and staff not only want a bottle they can use in the gym, they want a bottle they can be proud to take on their commute, whilst out walking or simply conducting their day to day business.”

This is why TMD sourced its insulated water bottle. The product can be custom-branded and is available in a wide range of colours.

Dave Hopkins, Founder at Proinsight, recently purchased these bottles for his team. Dave says: “Encouraging our team to keep hydrated is hugely important. Not drinking enough water can cause headaches, lethargy and dizziness which is obviously not conducive to productivity. Supplying a reusable bottle, that is environmentally produced, also negates the need for disposable cups, helping to keep wastage to a minimum. We like the bottle so much, we bought enough to also share them with our clients!”

Plans for the next 12 months
To continue to manufacture and supply quality uniforms and merchandise that meets the evolving need of the market. Investment in new technologies and digitalisation remains a focus to ensure TMD optimises efficiencies and delivers a frictionless experience for clients.

Recently, TMD launched its end of use textile recycling programme, reducing the amount of textile waste that ends up in landfill and reducing carbon emission. Moving towards, TMD will continue to explore sustainable practices that protect the business and the planet.

Taylor Made Shares Impact of New Textile Recycling Programme
Last year, Taylor Made Designs launched its end of use textile recycling programme. Between January 1, and September 30, 1753Kg of  end of use textile materials, was collected from the TMD office, sorted, securely shredded and recycled.

The official Environmental Impact Statement shows that, by disposing of garments responsibly using this deconstruction and recycling process, a total of 2980Kg of CO2 has been saved from entering the atmosphere. Plus, an estimated 1,787,030 litres of water have been saved due to a combination of avoiding landfill and the impact saved from the recycling and re-purposing versus manufacturing from new.

James Taylor, MD, TMD, says: “Our programme makes responsible and secure textile disposal possible for any sized organisation. The whole recycling process is fully documented, giving clients written certification of the entire process including their own Environmental Impact Statement.

“When Places Leisure rebranded recently, we disposed of all their redundant workwear via this recycling process. Garments were shredded and repurposed into new yards, insulation and composites or turned into Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF). 100 per cent avoided ending up in landfill.”
