Outwear Launches

A lot of planning and preparation has been going on over the last few months, but the day has finally arrived! Outwear Ltd commenced trading on 1 February 2018 and celebrated with an opening ceremony held at our Lockerbie premises on 31 January 2018.

Andrew, Yvonne and Douglas, Owners and Founders of Outwear Ltd, welcomed guests to the evening celebration. It was an honour for our business to be officially opened by Anton Pfanner, Founder and CEO of Pfanner Schutzbekleidung GmbH, who had made the long journey from Austria to be with us, along with his colleauge, Kurt. An enjoyable time was had by all, over a few days in Scotland. Exchanging gifts was a highlight, with our presentation of the first "Tartan Protos" and cushion to Anton. We were delighted to receive a specially painted two man cross cut saw from Anton and it will be fixed proudly on one of the walls in our office.

Thank you to our suppliers and customers

The opening evening was a great way to say thank you to the suppliers, colleagues, friends and family who had helped us get to this stage. We really appreciated you joining us on a cold winters evening and hopefully the refreshments and bagpipes helped to keep you warm. Keep a look out for a special report in the forthcoming Forest Machine Magazine.

Looking forward to the future

The Outwear team are excited to be able to bring you some very exciting, premium brands including Pfanner and Protos of Austria and Woolpower of Sweden. Our investment in these brands for the UK market will ensure our customers are able to continue to enjoy wearing the very best clothing. Delivering outstanding service is one of our core values and will be important as we grow our team.

Looking forward to a successful journey with Outwear, our customers, suppliers and friends!
