Mines, oil sites, contractors, hotels and hospitals clothe whole crews, and re-clothe them when contracts start or garments wear out. In Kericho that demand comes mainly from wholesale & trading houses.

Planning your workwear & corporate uniforms order for Kericho
A workwear & corporate uniforms order for Kericho should be planned backwards from the selling season. Two rainy seasons and a mild climate allow year-round sales, with hoodies and jackets in cooler months. Demand peaks at back-to-school in January, May and August, plus Easter, Christmas and wedding seasons. For workwear & corporate uniforms specifically, industrial and hospitality uniforms are ordered through the year, with peaks at the start of contracts and fiscal years. Our lead time is 35–55 days; hi-vis and flame-retardant styles 45–60 days, plus sea transit of about 12–22 days, so we advise confirming orders early enough to land the goods before the peak rather than during it.
Typical buyers of workwear & corporate uniforms in Kericho include mining and oil-field contractors, construction and engineering firms, hotels, restaurants and hospitals and security, logistics and facilities companies. In Kericho, they usually order 500–1,000 pieces per style; contract orders for mines or plants can be much larger and reorder the styles that sell through, so we keep fabric, size ratios and labels on file for repeat shipments.
Fabric, fit and colour choices for Kericho
Because the climate in Kenya is hot, breathable fabrics move fastest. For workwear & corporate uniforms we recommend Poly-cotton drill 200–280 GSM, with hi-vis polyester mesh and knit to EN ISO 20471 as a value alternative, and we keep the heavier options for the cooler months only.
Sizes: S–5XL regular, tall and short fits; women's cuts available. Colours: Navy, royal, orange, grey, white, khaki and hi-vis yellow and orange; custom corporate shades.
Workwear & Corporate Uniforms made in bulk to your colour, size and design
You are not limited to stock designs. We make workwear & corporate uniforms in bulk in the colour you choose, in the sizes and size ratio your customers wear, and in the design you supply for the Kericho market. A reference garment, a tech pack, a sketch or even a photograph is enough to start.
How it works: send a Pantone code or fabric swatch for colour and we return a lab-dip; send your size chart and the ratio you want in each carton; send artwork, print, embroidery or label files for the design. We make a sample for approval and then produce the bulk to that approved sample, so the order you receive matches the one you signed off.
- Colour: Navy, royal, orange, grey, white, khaki and hi-vis yellow and orange; custom corporate shades.
- Size: S–5XL regular, tall and short fits; women's cuts available.
- Design and branding: company logos and name tags, custom colour blocks, gender-specific cuts and matching caps, aprons and vests.
About our workwear & corporate uniforms
Corporate uniforms for hotels, hospitals and security companies take a different path: finer fabrics, better fits, embroidered logos and a consistent look across hundreds of staff. We use the same suppliers and quality system, but with tighter finishing.
Workwear is a safety product as much as a garment. Hi-vis vests must meet visibility standards, coveralls must resist tearing, and everything must survive industrial laundering. We therefore specify fabric weight, reflective tape and seam construction in the purchase order and test them in the final inspection.
