Introduction

Every great brand has a story, and ours is rooted in evolution, collaboration, and innovation. BAS 1 Group wasn’t built overnight; it’s the result of uniting three strong, independent companies: BAS 1 Embroidery & Print Ltd, Tradesmate, and PPE Supplies Direct. Together, we've become a one-stop solution for workwear, PPE, and industrial supplies, offering a seamless experience to businesses across the UK.

Our Roots

Founded in 2000, BAS 1 Embroidery & Print Ltd earned a reputation for excellence in branded clothing, embroidery, and garment printing. Our craftsmanship served world-class clients, including Ralph Lauren, Rolls-Royce, and the Metropolitan Police, reflecting our commitment to quality, consistency, and customer-first service.

Meanwhile, Tradesmate and PPE Supplies Direct built their reputations on supplying premium personal protective equipment (PPE). Their in-depth understanding of workplace safety helped hundreds of companies maintain regulatory compliance and protect their workforce.

The Merger: More Than Just a Name Change

As the industries we serve evolved, so did our vision. The merger was a strategic decision to consolidate services, reduce complexity, and increase value. BAS 1 Group represents the next chapter where convenience meets capability.

By joining forces:

• We streamlined procurement processes
• Unified our knowledge and supply chain systems
• Improved consistency and delivery times
• Extended product lines under one trusted umbrella
