…since we set up our first tailor’s shop in 1869. 

From those small beginnings as a family run business founded by William Sugden in Cleckheaton, West Yorkshire, we have evolved to become one of the country’s foremost workwear and corporate clothing specialists.

From just one sewing machine in the back of the shop, William Sugden, his four sons and daughter grew the business enough to move to a factory at Water Lane Mills in Cleckheaton. The ‘Water Lane’ brand proved so successful that further factories were opened across Yorkshire in both Barnsley and Wakefield.

We soon acquired our own weaving mills and during the course of the first and second world wars, we produced close to six million shirts and work suits for the armed forces.

In 1968, we joined forces with the famous Double TWO shirt-makers, renowned for high quality shirt production with industry leading innovation. This relationship enabled both companies to share expertise and thrive in the modern marketplace.

With an enviable reputation as the leading supplier of work shirts and uniforms to UK Police Forces and Emergency Services, we are proud to clothe a large number of local and national companies across a variety of business sectors.

Workwear Innovation

Over the years we’ve evolved from simply providing clothing. Embracing the latest technology and leading the way with innovation, we were the first company in the UK to use CAD systems to design our fabrics and were the first to offer a complete managed uniform service, offering a total clothing package developed to the clients’ needs assisted by a full stock management system.

Listening to our customer’s needs, we have developed a full service, from design to delivery. Whether it’s corporate clothing from our stock, an embroidery service or a fully bespoke uniform design, we can clothe each member of your team from head to toe.

Our in-house design team can provide a bespoke solution, working with you to develop a strong, unique clothing range, reflecting your company vision and promoting your corporate identity.

A bespoke, online ordering portal and your own fully managed stock, housed in our warehouse means your workforce can order their own uniform distributed direct from us, so you don’t have to waste valuable space on storage.

Unrivalled Expertise

Our streamlined approach removes much of the unwanted pressure when it comes to providing staff with workwear. That’s why some of Britain’s best known businesses rely on Sugden’s to deliver excellent products and stress free distribution.

The expertise we’ve acquired in corporate clothing ensures you get the right clothing for the job, ensuring products meet safety regulations and the specific demands required for your business sector.

Now over 150 years into our journey, we remain a family owned company, proud of our illustrious heritage and our reputation for high quality workwear and customer service.
