Over a decade of supplying and branding workwear for Yorkshire businesses has taught us one thing: what local B2B buyers actually need is a supplier they can rely on.

When a business owner walks into our Bradford showroom needing polo shirts printed with their logo, we get it done. That has been true since the day BR Apparel opened in 2013, and it is still true today.

Over a decade of supplying and branding workwear for Yorkshire businesses has taught us one thing: what local B2B buyers actually need is a supplier they can rely on. Not a national website with a 10 day turnaround. A real business, on the end of a phone, that understands what is needed and gets it done properly.

What BR Apparel Does

We are a Bradford-based workwear and uniform supplier with everything in-house. That means when you order from us, your garments are produced here in Bradford, not sent to a third party and back again.

  • Embroidery, using our Tajima 8-head machine running in-house in Bradford
  • DTF (Direct to Film) printing, for full colour, detailed logos and designs
  • Screen printing, for high volume single colour and multi colour print runs
  • Uniform supply, from 30+ garment brands including Uneek, Portwest, Regatta Professional, AWDis, Gildan and more

Everything under one roof. No middlemen. No waiting for a third party to return your garments. That is how we keep turnaround times to 3 to 4 working days from artwork approval.

Who We Supply

Since 2013 we have kitted out businesses across Bradford and West Yorkshire in virtually every sector:

  • Hospitality: restaurants, hotels, cafes and bars across Bradford and Yorkshire
  • Construction: hi-vis, PPE and site workwear for contractors and developers
  • Logistics and warehousing: polo shirts, fleece, hi-vis and cargo trousers
  • Corporate and office: branded polo shirts, softshell jackets and shirts
  • Healthcare and beauty: tunics, scrubs and salon uniforms
  • Events and promotions: bulk T-shirts, hoodies and branded accessories

From 6 items to 600, we supply and brand workwear for teams of all sizes. Whether you are a sole trader needing a handful of polo shirts or a business kitting out an entire workforce, the service is the same.

Our Bradford Showroom

One thing that separates BR Apparel from national online-only suppliers is our Bradford showroom. We have samples from over 30 brands on display: polo shirts, fleece, hi-vis, hoodies, softshells, caps, bags and more. You can come in, touch the garments, see the quality, and talk through your requirements before you commit to an order.

Most of our clients visit the showroom at least once before their first order. It is the fastest way to see the difference between brands and fabrics, and to make sure the garment you choose is right for your team. You will find us at Unit 2 Great Russell Court, Fieldhead Business Centre, Bradford BD7 1JZ.
