About Us

Brand It Essex was formed in 2019, just before the world changed with the onset of Covid. As a husband & wife team, James and Stephanie (Steph) set out with one mission: to raise the standard of branded workwear, uniforms and promotional products by offering quality over quantity, and service that truly cares. In 2026 we're still going strong.

We work mainly with small businesses of 1 to 25 people: trades, cleaners, salons, hospitality, offices and growing teams who want their staff to look as professional as the work they do. There's no minimum order, so you can kit out a team of one or a team of twenty-five to the same standard.

We hand-pick every garment we supply, working with premium brands like Nimbus, Tee Jays, Stormtech and Cutter & Buck rather than "cheap and cheerful" basics. Our best seller, the Premium Workwear Bundle, gives your team a complete branded kit in one simple order.

Visit our showroom at 4 Arlington Square, South Woodham Ferrers, Chelmsford CM3 7BF to feel the fabrics, try on sizes and talk through your branding before you order. Every order gets a visual proof to approve before production starts.

A Family Business Built On Experience

Although our company may be newer than others in the industry, our roots run deep. Stephanie grew up in the print and promotional world, learning the ropes from her family’s print business from a very young age. Her hands on experience and eye for design has helped shape our understanding of what works and what doesn’t, when it comes to representing your business through branded workwear.
James spent 14 years working with Travis Perkins as part of their regional sales team.
During this time, he developed a strong understanding of what construction clients need not just in terms of products, but in long term business relationships. His ability to work with directors and buyers at all levels laid the foundation for the handson, client first approach that Brand It Essex is now known for.

Growing

We try to avoid supplying “cheap and cheerful.” uniforms into business'. Not because we want to make more money, but because we want our customers to fell good when at work. We carefully hand-pick every product we offer, working with premium brands that align with our standards. From breathable performance polos to technical outerwear, every garment we supply is chosen for its quality, comfort, and fit. In fact, we’ve turned away many brands over the years that didn’t meet our expectations – and James is never shy about saying why!

By building strong relationships with the best brands in the industry we have been able to build a Showroom full of quality products and enabled us to to start the journey of our YouTube channel.
When your business looks good, you feel good.
And when your team is dressed in high-quality, custom branded clothing, it builds trust, confidence, and pride.
