Workwear

Progressive supports authorised retailers to highlight Safety Footwear and Workwear displayed in store and increase visibility of the JCB Workwear brand.

Showcasing the JCB Workwear brand is of high importance at Progressive Safety. Consistency is key, displays of JCB Workwear look the same to the consumer from store to store, from a multi-national branch to an independent trade counter. Drawing the attention of the shopper is our aim – how can you miss the iconic, world renowned JCB yellow logo?

Designed to meet the needs of retailers, products can be displayed either in or out of the packaging, stacked or hung. Each retailer has their individual requirements and Progressive can be flexible with the in-store solution to make it work for all. There’s no ask too big or small. We have done large installations covering 8 metres, and smaller displays supported by a simple mannequin.

Progressive is pleased to announce it is inviting current and prospective suppliers in preparation for its new catalogue and range review.

During the pandemic, the Sheffield based family firm was heavily relied upon for key workers and infrastructure staff thanks to its unique position in the market, next day delivery promise and significant stockholding across a variety of manufacturers and product groups. The company’s robust digital platform and cloud-based ERP enabled quick and easy drop ship supply on behalf of their distributors.

Setting the scene for these activities, Anna Topham, Operations Director confirmed:

“Due to our enviable and long-standing position in the industry we have been able to support all our customers with incredibly competitive pricing on numerous brands across the safety equipment and workwear landscape.

WORKWEAR THAT WORKS FOR WOMEN

Written by Georgina Williams, 8th March 2022

I already recognised JCB workwear as a brand that produces good quality clothing and footwear that is durable and comfortable but my experience was limited to a few certain products that I had decided were suitable for me as a woman. Work boots, socks, a hoodie and a beanie hat tended to be my go-to kit. Therefore, I was excited to get hold of wider selection of some of their products to review from a female perspective for International Women’s Day on 8^th March this year.

My job as a JCB Test Driver involves working 12 hour shifts operating heavy machinery in a quarry environment and my time ‘off work’ is spent working on my home renovations – so it’s safe to say that I need my clothing to be comfortable, versatile and durable! As a woman, this is something I have struggled to find within a reasonable budget so I was therefore really looking forward to testin

Windy weather can really cool things down. Even if it's a dry and clear day, the wind makes the temperature drop quite drastically – affecting your body heat and comfort. That is why it’s important to be prepared – to stay warm.
