The story
GS Workwear is a UK supplier that describes itself as supporting businesses of all sizes with compliant, high-performance workwear and protective kit. It sells to construction, engineering, logistics and hospitality teams, and to anyone who wants proper kit for the job. The shop is run by Goldstar Leisure under the GS Workwear name.
The range
Clothing is the core: coats and jackets, trousers, polos, fleeces, base layers and hi-vis, along with arc flash outerwear for electrical work. Beyond that you will find safety boots and shoes, wellingtons, gloves, eye, head, hearing and respiratory protection, height safety gear, first aid and a selection of hand and power tools. It stocks well-known names such as Portwest, Snickers, Helly Hansen, Dickies and DeWalt.
Your logo
If you want kit with your company name on it, the shop does embroidery and printing. You can order the garments and the logo work in the same basket, and the shop sends a proof before production. Garments that aren't being customised can ship separately so they arrive sooner.
Trade accounts
Businesses that order regularly can apply for a trade account, which the shop says brings wholesale rates and support from its team. There is also an Ex VAT and Inc VAT switch in the site header, so it is worth checking which one is showing before you compare prices with another supplier.
Delivery
Orders go out with tracked carriers, including Royal Mail, Parcelforce, DPD and DHL, and you get a tracking number by email once the parcel leaves the warehouse. Delivery costs and any free-delivery threshold are shown at checkout. Some areas, such as Ireland and remote parts of the UK, can take a little longer.
Returns
Returns start from the returns page, where you enter your order details and choose a shop label or a courier of your own. Items need to come back clean and in the condition they left the warehouse, and underwear can't be returned. Check the returns policy for the current time limit, as the shop's pages don't match each other.
