MITIE brings the latest in corporate wear fashion to clients

STRUT, the exciting and innovative corporate wear fashion experience designed by MITIE’s client services business, brought the latest lines in work wear to its clients in a stunning catwalk show. Developed to highlight the importance uniforms can have in enhancing a company’s brand image, the show gave clients the opportunity to see the difference the right uniform can make. 

As specialists in five-star front-of-house service, MITIE’s client services team know the impact that the right first impression can have. Working with suppliers TM Lewin, Fat Face, Burlington, Brook Taverner, and Simon Jersey, they proved Facilities Management can be both fun and sexy. This year’s event was held in Canary Wharf, where MITIE provides front-of-house, telephony, floor management, and porterage services to a number of prestigious clients. 

Debra Ward, Managing Director for MITIE’s client services business commented: 

“Creating exceptional, memorable experiences, one guest at a time, starts from the moment a guest walks through the door into your reception. The look and feel of the uniform should match the image you want to portray – we know that getting the right look is crucial.” 

Whether it’s a bespoke three-piece suit or a branded polo shirt and cargo pants, work uniforms are a very emotive topic for both the company purchasing them and team member who wears them. There is no one-uniform-fits-all approach to styling a company and the importance of getting it right should never be underestimated.

Notes for editors

What is MITIE?
We’re the strategic outsourcing company. What does that mean in practice? We manage facilities, properties and assets for our clients across the UK and beyond.

We work with our clients in three ways; some take full advantage of our whole range of expertise, others may only need one aspect of what we do:

Strategy and consultancy
+ Facilities and project management
+ Service delivery

Our strategic input can add value at the highest level by helping clients to manage their assets, while our practical management expertise can save customers money and reduce their carbon emissions. We work with a vast number of clients in every industry across both the public and private sectors and deliver the broadest range of services that can be found in one place: from integrated facilities management to engineering maintenance to lifecycle energy management and much more.

There’s a lot more to MITIE than you probably think. We’re a big company with big ambitions – a leading FTSE 250 support services business, with more than 56,000 people, revenues in excess of £1.7bn, and a reputation for being the best.
