How We Deliver Your Uniforms: The GB Studios Process

Delivering uniforms is the final, crucial stage in the GB Studios journey. After design, sampling, fittings, and production, this is where everything comes together, garments checked, packed, organised, and delivered exactly how your team needs them. Below is a simple, behind-the-scenes breakdown of how we deliver uniforms for hotels, restaurants, golf clubs, and luxury venues worldwide.

1. Final Quality Control

Before anything leaves the workshop, every garment goes through a full quality control process. Each piece is hand-checked for:

• Stitching, seams, labels, trims and finishing
• Correct embroidery and branding placement
• Fabric and colour accuracy against approved samples
• Consistent sizing at key measurement points
• Any bespoke details, longer lengths or special instructions

Keeping QC in-house gives us full control and avoids unnecessary transport. When the uniforms arrive with you, they look and feel exactly as agreed. Always packed in garment sleeves for protection and for easy storage.

2. Sustainable Packing Options

Every venue is different, so we offer flexible packing options to suit your storage, set-up and staff onboarding.

Boxed (Most Common)

• Garments folded neatly with protective packaging
• Easy to allocate to departments and individuals
• Ideal for international and multi-site delivery

Hanging

• Perfect for jackets, dresses and premium pieces
• Arrives ready to wear straight from the rail

Hybrid

• A mix of boxed and hanging, tailored to each department

Wherever possible, we use recyclable materials and minimise packaging waste, keeping the process as sustainable as possible.

3. Barcoding and Stock Control (Optional)

For larger teams or multi-site operations, we can add simple stock management tools as part of delivery. This can include:

• Barcodes applied to individual garments
• Allocating uniforms by department or employee
• Digital stock sheets to track sizes and quantities
• Feeding information into your PLM or stock control system

This makes reordering straightforward and helps you keep a clear overview of uniform stock across the business.

4. Warehoused at Our Workshop

We warehouse most uniforms directly at our workshop rather than relying on multiple third-party storage sites. This approach:

• Reduces transport miles and environmental impact
• Speeds up dispatch and top-up orders
• Keeps stock in one place, managed by the same team who made it
• Gives you a clear, single point of contact for uniform stock

By keeping everything under one roof, we cut unnecessary movement and maintain consistent quality from first sample to final delivery.

5. Dispatch and Delivery on Your Schedule

Once QC, packing and any barcoding are complete, we plan delivery around your timelines. That might mean:

• Coordinated deliveries for hotel openings or refurbishments
• Staggered drops by department to avoid disruption
• Worldwide courier shipping for international teams
• Express options for urgent top-ups or replacements

We understand that timing is critical in hospitality and corporate environments. Our goal is to make sure uniforms arrive when you need them, not when it is simply convenient for a courier.

6. After Delivery: Ongoing Support

Delivery is not the end of the project. We stay involved to make sure the uniforms work for your team in real life. This can include:

• Helping with size exchanges and fit adjustments
• Arranging top-up orders as your team grows or changes
• Providing garment care advice to extend the life of each piece
• Supporting staff onboarding with clear uniform guidelines
• Troubleshooting any department-specific issues

Our role is to make uniforms feel effortless from design and production, right through to daily wear.

Why This Process Matters

A well-managed delivery sets the tone for your whole uniform rollout. It means no last-minute panic, no missing sizes, and no confusion, just a smooth, sustainable, well-structured process that supports your staff and reflects your brand.

Roll Out: On-Site Fittings, Team Intros &

A Calm Go-Live

Our uniform rollout playbook keeps each project calm, clear and on schedule. From phased deliveries and size curves to on-site fittings and light-touch training, we make sure your teams look ready from day one, without disrupting your day-to-day operations.

Whether you’re a large hotel with multiple outlets or a smaller property with one core team, our rollout process adapts to your scale. Some clients need full on-site support, others prefer a simpler, streamlined approach. We shape the process to fit you, not the other way around.

Step One: Meeting Your Team & Setting the Plan

If we haven’t already met your team during the measuring or discovery stage, rollout begins with a straightforward introduction. This might be a short call, a quick walk-through on site, or a more detailed meeting, whatever suits your operation.

We outline the essentials without over-complicating things, especially for smaller clients who don’t need a full project meeting.

We typically cover:

• Which departments will roll out first
• Approximate staff numbers for each fitting session
• Any particular needs or sensitivities we should be aware of
• How we’ll manage late hires, seasonal staff or follow-up sizes

The aim is clarity and confidence, enough structure to keep things smooth, but never more steps than you genuinely need.

On-Site Fittings: Calm, Efficient & Staff-Friendly

We arrive on site with size curves, fitting blocks and a clear schedule. Depending on your project size, this might be a single focused session or multiple fitting days. Staff are booked in by department so everything runs smoothly.

During fittings we:

• Use fitting blocks to gauge the best fit for the wearer
  
• Check sleeve lengths, hems and overall fit
  
• Note any alterations or special requirements
• Ensure each person feels comfortable and confident in their uniform

We work around briefings, handovers and peak service, so your operation keeps moving while fittings happen quietly in the background.

Phased Deliveries That Work for Your Operation

Uniform rollout doesn’t have to happen all at once. Many properties prefer phased deliveries: front of house first, then housekeeping, then F&B  or by building, outlet or shift pattern.

We plan deliveries to suit your storage, staffing levels and opening timelines. Alongside this, we can connect with our logistics systems so you have clear records of what was delivered, which sizes went where and what will be needed for future top-ups.

Training & Team Introduction

When it suits the project, we can run an introduction to uniform session so your team can understand the uniform properly. These are informal, quick and designed to fit around their day.

We can cover:

• The design story and how the uniform reflects your brand
• Daily garment care – washing, steaming, pressing and storage
• Styling Tips
• Why sustainability or specific fabric choices were important for your project

This helps staff feel part of the process,  not just handed a new jacket with no context.

Aftercare, Check-Ins & Future Phases

After rollout, we stay connected. We check in to see how uniforms are performing in real service conditions and how your teams are getting on.

We look at:

• Where extra sizes or backup pieces may be needed
• What we should allow for in future phases or seasonal hires

Because we keep accurate sizing and allocation records, reorders and future rollouts are straightforward, ideal for new outlets, promotions and seasonal recruitment.

A Rollout That Feels Controlled & Professional

Uniform rollout should feel smooth and manageable, not chaotic. With GB Studios you get:

• Clear timelines shaped around your operation
• Support scaled to your needs, light touch or fully on site
• One point of contact from start to finish
• Accurate fittings and clear record-keeping
• A long-term partner for top-ups and seasonal refreshes

Our aim is simple: your teams look confident, aligned and on-brand from the very first day the new uniforms go live.
