Uniform refresh 👀✨️ Bea and Thea are trialling our new polos on shift this week. We’re prioritising visibility and comfort in our low-light venues. We’ve also introduced the Portwest PW3 range, built for multi-environment work with 7-in-1 functionality. You’ll notice another update too. We’ve moved from uppercase to lowercase lettering to improve readability at distance. Thank you @logo_studio_northampton for working with us to get it turned around 🙏🏿 What do you think of the refresh? 👇
