BRAND QUALITY WITHOUT THE BRAND

A MESSAGE FROM THE MD

“ We firmly believe that when customers see our products for the first time they immediately acknowledge and appreciate the quality and consistency we shout about versus other unbranded alternatives. They get it!!! Our premium ranges of co-ordinated teamwear also give our customers the opportunity to offer their teams, clubs and schools a genuine alternative to famous name sports and apparel brands, but at a more reasonable price backed by a second-to-none stocked service.

Managing cost, but not at the expense of quality, is a key factor when designing and developing performance sportswear, whether that be for grass roots sports to elite level professionals and teams.

We combine our 50+ years knowledge as a fabric supplier with our considerable experience of manufacturing sportswear garments offshore with specialist partners. We’ve travelled extensively throughout the Far East and Asia over the years, we’ve done ‘the hard yards’ when it comes to sourcing the right suppliers.

Both our UK and very own China team also have a wealth of experience in our industry. When combined with our proven testing and inspection procedures, quality is rigorously controlled at every stage. This enables us to deliver consistent market leading products to our customers. ‘Fit for purpose’ products time after time, season after season.”

Joel Chadwick – Managing Director

CHOOSE CHADWICK HERITAGE, KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE

3RD GENERATION

Established in Manchester in 1967, Chadwicks have a rich heritage as a prominent approved supplier to the UK and international garment making industry since the late sixties and seventies.

That’s over 55 years of supplying many household names from M&S to Adidas as well as hundreds of specialist garment factories. Still today, Chadwick’s fabric division is the UK’s foremost supplier of polyester fabrics for sublimated sportswear to brands whom rely on us for consistently high performance and just in time delivery.

INTERNATIONAL TRADE

Our invaluable experience of seeing garment manufacturing at all levels globally over the last five decades has enabled us to spot new trends. As customer needs continue to evolve, we use our abundance of experience to adapt our offering and embrace change. Importantly, this includes a wealth of international trade knowledge across the UK, Europe, South Asia and the Far East.

QUALITY AND CONSISTENCY

In our opinion fabric testing is a crucial commercial requirement, especially in sportswear. Whether that be colourfastness to washing, tear strength or breathability.

A proven quality procedure is integral to offering consistent garments. Quality is rigorously controlled at all stages by our own QCs working alongside the factories in-house teams and our UK team.

Even if we have produced a product dozens of times before, we still insist that all aspects are tested before production starts - fabric, trims and even the packaging. None of Chadwicks goods leave our suppliers until they have been inspected and signed off to the international commercial standard AQL 2.5.

OUR SUPPLY CHAIN

As a business, travelling across Asia and the Far East has provided us with invaluable experience. We can honestly say we have done the ‘hard yards’ when it comes to sourcing the right factories.

We believe there is no replacement for being face to face with suppliers at source. Apart from just being understood, it builds credibility on both sides. It’s this credibility that is transferable through the quality we maintain and the premium quality we provide.

We are able to tap into our suppliers knowledge as experts in their field. We learn and share best techniques which inevitably brings ongoing improvements. Working together in partnership, we visit all our suppliers regularly in person, progressively building relationships and mutual understanding.

OUR CHINA OFFICE

Our China office team, established 20 years ago, is crucial to the business. It sets us apart from other importers and brands, looking out for the best interests for Chadwicks as they are hand-picked and recruited by us. They provide the eyes and ears on the ground more locally, it’s an invaluable part of our operation – communicating, managing our expectations as well as understanding the local cultures and working practices. We’ve taken the time to train and educate our own QCs in understanding our quality requirements.

SUSTAINABILITY

We put our ethical and social responsibilities at the heart of our business. For us business is not just about profit. It’s not just the bottom line that matters, it’s the triple bottom line, the three P’s of profit, people, and the planet.

We have a responsibility to make sure all reasonable steps are taken to ensure our products are not only ethically sourced but do not unnecessarily impact on the environment.

All factories used in the production of our ranges have been independently audited by ITS Intertek and are signed up to the BSCI codes of practice. We actively monitor and encourage them to ensure these best practices are maintained as well as visiting them personally each year.

ENVIRONMENT AND REFORESTATION

Chadwick Teamwear are proud of our ongoing support for a number of reforestation projects including Tanzania and in the UK. With over 400,000 trees planted as a direct result of our funding, we feel sure that by investing in such environmental projects it will help bring about some positive change and demonstrate to both our customers and suppliers the importance we attach to ethical practices and initiatives, whilst also seeking ways in which we can as a business indirectly offset some of our carbon footprint.
