Introduction: DEWAR'S BLENDED SCOTCH WHISKY
Since its humble beginnings in 1846, John Dewar & Sons Ltd has evolved from a small wine and spirits merchant shop in Perth, Scotland, to a globally recognised brand. Founded by John Dewar, the company prides itself on the quality of its blended Scotches, a tradition that John Dewar himself was so confident in that he was among the first Scotch blenders to put his name on a bottle as a guarantee of quality.
Today, as part of Bacardi Limited, DEWAR’S continues to use a pioneering process developed in 1881 to provide greater harmony and extra smoothness to all its blends.
As a global brand, Bacardi understands the importance of maintaining a consistent and professional image. This extends to their corporate apparel, which is carefully managed to ensure that every employee represents the brand positively and cohesively.
Challenges: Fitting Out a Workforce Across Multiple Sites
John Dewar and Sons face the continuous significant challenge of outfitting over 500 employees spread across multiple sites. Ensuring that each team member has high-quality, branded workwear that meets safety and professional standards is a considerable undertaking. The complexity is compounded by the need to maintain consistency in branding and uniformity in appearance across all locations.
The staff at Dewar's require a range of high-quality and branded workwear. Garments are sourced from reputable brands to ensure quality and durability. Portwest supplies the Hi-Vis Rugby Tops, Sweatshirts, Two-Tone Hi-Vis Polos, coveralls and Softshell Jackets. Uneek provides the Heavyweight 100% Cotton T-Shirts, while Leo Workwear offers Coolviz Hi-Vis T-Shirts and Polo Shirts. The Condor Kneepad Trousers come from Orn, and the Water Repellant Trousers are from Regatta.
Each item needed to be adorned with either printed or embroidered logos, ensuring that the workforce not only remained visible and safe but also represented the brand with pride.
