    Hi guys and gals,

    After getting rid of Bulk Workwear as orders were not being sent out and their phone lines went dead. I thought I need to find another Tiler and Tile Fixer Workwear Supplier.

    Best Tiler Workwear Supplier UK

    Some of the Best Tiler and Tile Installer Workwear going. Plumbers Polo Shirt Embroidered. Plumbers workwear trousers with pockets, and a couple of baseball caps all embroidered for free.​


    So I have. The company is VividPromotion.com - The owner of it is an old friend who's actually let me have some office space here so I can get out the bloody house and go to work like a real human does. 🙂

    I'm setting up a website for it: Best Workwear Supplier | Workwear for Tradesmen - https://bestworkwearsupplier.co.uk/ - not quite ready yet but I'll get a link going to it at least for now, SEO down the line.

    ​

    Anyway, going to stick some bundles together specific to each trade. So Best Tiler and Tile Installer workwear supplier bundles.​


    Maybe something like (work wear for tilers specifically) this:-
    • 5 Tiler / Tile Fixer Polo Shirts - Free left breast embroidered
    • 1 Trousers
    • 2 Baseball caps - Free logo embroidered.
    Price: 85.95 + VAT - free delivery

    What I could do with you replying with please people!​

    1. Is there anything else that you would add to this bundle? I'll change it if needs be.
    2. And please let me know by replying with what make your own work polos are, as we have access to all 3 main suppliers of workwear clothing, so can get the same make you already trust.


    I'm hoping we can become your supplier of workwear ongoing so will sort you all out with brilliant prices.

    If you want your logo on the back of any Polo's or Hoodies or whatever, down the line near Xmas when it's colder, it'll be an extra charge for that and I'll get back to you with those prices ASAP.

    Please help me out with this one, and the profits will go towards the forum running costs which are massive.

    Thanks in advance
