130 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE AND STILL LEADING THE WAY
Trutex plc enjoys an unrivalled reputation in its market that few organisations can ever hope to achieve.
Established in 1865, as the Clitheroe Shirting Company in Grindleton, near Clitheroe, Lancs, the company has manufactured under the Trutex brand since the 1920s before changing its name to Trutex in 1965.
As the UK's leading name in schoolwear and sportswear, Trutex remains dedicated to its audience and continues to pioneer developments in the markets. With a commitment to producing comfortable, well-designed clothing coupled with Trutex's unique ability to keep in touch with the needs of its customers, the company has led the way for over 130 years.
To date, Trutex plc has provided clothing for school children spanning four generations, proving that the formula of design, comfort and value for money is welcomed by its customers.
Remaining true to its roots in Clitheroe, Trutex produces an extensive range of schoolwear items, from casual wear to sportswear, blazers to rugby shirts.
Four collections; Trutex main range, Trutex Kids, Tru-value and the very latest fashion- inspired, range Connected, all combine fabric, styling and the wealth of Trutex experience.
Like many suppliers, Trutex distributes its uniforms and sportswear in the UK through a chain of independent retailers, a 'Direct To School' scheme and a unique mail order 'Trutex Direct' service where the school receives a donation from Trutex with every purchase of uniform made.
Little wonder that Trutex remains the single, largest independent school brand and this year the company continues to be a pioneer changes in the UK market.
