Introduction
Every great brand has a story, and ours is one of evolution, collaboration, and innovation. BAS 1 Group wasn’t built overnight—it is the culmination of three strong, unique entities: BAS 1 Embroidery & Print Ltd, Tradesmate and PPE Supplies Direct. Together, we’ve become a one-stop shop for workwear, PPE, and industry supplies, bringing a seamless experience to businesses across the UK.
Our Roots
BAS 1 Embroidery & Print Ltd has been a trusted name since its founding in 2000. Known for its superior-quality embroidery and printing, it served global icons like Ralph Lauren, Rolls-Royce, and the Metropolitan Police. Its family-run ethos fostered a deep connection to craftsmanship and customer satisfaction.
Meanwhile, Tradesmate / PPE Supplies Direct made a name for itself by providing top-tier personal protective equipment. Their deep knowledge of workplace safety solutions helped countless industries maintain compliance and ensure employee well-being.
The Merger
The decision to merge was driven by a shared vision: creating an all-in-one solution for businesses looking to streamline their procurement process. By combining our expertise, we’ve become more than the sum of our parts.
