Ready to Break Out for Summer? It’s Just What the Doctor Ordered!
Happy Birthday, NHS!
Founded on the 5th July 1948, the NHS has been a lifesaver for millions, and continues to be so (however much we grumble about waiting lists or queueing on the phone for a doctor’s appointment!)
The care sector, too is in more in demand than ever, thanks to increased life expectancy (thanks again, NHS!). We are very proud to supply a wide range of uniforms and workwear, from home helps and chiropodists to domiciliary care workers and care home staff. That is why the garments we supply for the care industry are manufactured to the highest quality. They are comfortable, smart, flexible and hardwearing, supporting every bend, twist and lift, for those long shifts.
The same applies for those working in the catering, hospitality, food manufacture and transport sectors we all benefit from. Take a look: you might be surprised at the lines we’re adding.
July is a red-letter month for many; whether exams and term-end (for teachers, too!), holiday travel, or juggling work and childcare. We’re wonderfully busy with uniform fittings for the next school year; please don’t leave it too late in case everyone’s had the same idea, and we need to order in more of your size!
Upstairs in our Lancaster shop is now open, with an extra till, to beat the queues! We’re often able to have in-store only end-of-line bargains; keep an eye on our Facebook page for flash sales as they don’t last long! Talking of busy-ness, we have now filled our vacancies for seasonal staff in our Kirkham and Lancaster shops, so if you see a face you have not seen before – be patient and kind as you could be one of their first customers!
Stella’s just helped me send out our summer newsletter with lots more exclusive updates and offers. If you’d like to receive this friendly 5-minute read, quarterly update, please email me on vic@ualonline.co.uk or sign up in-store. And remember our website is bigger, faster and better, for surfing and ordering summer sports and leisurewear, need-it-now school uniform or every kind of workwear 24/7, whenever suits you best.
Stella and I loved heading for the fells recently, and while it may be autumn before we get to do it again daily fresh air, exercise and looking out across the bay are great body, mind and mood-lifters.
Wishing you summer health and sunshine, Vicki x
