A leading sportswear brand has unveiled a full range of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to cater to schools and school retailers as the UK starts to emerge from lockdown.

GFORCE Sportswear, which offers high-quality teamwear to schools, colleges, teams and clubs up and down the country, and its sister brand Grahame Gardner, a specialist uniform provider, have combined expertise and specialisms to add an extensive selection of PPE to their portfolio. This includes innovative, bespoke items ideal for the transition back to school.

The line offers a variety of medical-grade disposable PPE items. Also, fully bespoke washable face masks and customisable face shield visors.

Commenting is Simon Ward, group sales director for Grahame Gardner and GFORCE Sportswear. “As many sectors now begin the long-anticipated transition back to business, it’s crucial that everyone can access a quality range of PPE to help promote safety for themselves and others.

“It is also essential that everyone in the school environment, pupils, colleagues, parents and the wider community, feel safe as we all enter into our new way of working and interacting with others on a daily basis.

“As experts in garment customisation, our new washable face masks and face visors can be made fully bespoke with personalised logos, colours and designs.

“We recognise that for some organisations it will be really important to have their own self-branded PPE helping to create an approachable and welcoming first impression at the same time as promoting the safety of all.”

The personalised washable masks feature anti-static fabric and are kind to skin. They offer a soft bamboo cotton interior, which is both moisture managing and helps temperature control.

There are two different fabrics to choose from; an eye droplet polyester outer with antibacterial finish and a lightweight microshell with a water-resistant finish.

The laminated recyclable face visor is available to produce in your own branded design on the cardboard surround. Ideal for retail environments and other high footfall areas, the large anti-fog window enables safe face-to-face communication.

Ward continues: “All our PPE items are in stock and available in high volume. We’d be really pleased to talk to anyone further about their requirements on any of our products or services, including trade accounts and wholesale.”
