[1]Research conducted by the University of Oxford found a link between happiness and productivity and concluded that happy workers are 13% more productive.

What makes a happy worker? A great boss, financial security, and a healthy work-life balance are just a few key ingredients that help businesses foster a positive and motivated team. When these pieces come together, employee morale thrives, and in return, so does the company.

At Leach’s, we might not be able to sweet-talk your boss into giving you a raise or an early Friday finish (we would if we could!), but we can help you out with the basics. "What basics?" I hear you ask. Well, it all starts with comfort, Hear us out.

In 2018, many businesses began to introduce a casual Friday dress code, through this initiative, research began to suggest that [2]61% of employees worked more effectively and efficiently when able to dress more comfortably. But let’s be clear, we’re not suggesting you rock up to the construction site in jeans and trainers. When it comes to scaffolding and construction, your dress code and PPE go hand-in-hand, no exceptions!

BUT what if the clothing you wear on site comes with the necessary safety you need and the extreme comfort you want? Comfort and protection, all in one.

Allow us to introduce the BIGBEN ULTRATUFF clothing range. Built after listening to workers across countless sites, it’s carefully designed to meet your needs. The range delivers a comfortable fit while withstanding the rigours of on-site work. The BIGBEN garments are designed to provide comfort, practicality and durability specifically with the scaffolding industry in mind.

BIGBEN® ULTRATUFF® Premium Deluxe T-Shirt

The premium deluxe t-shirt features reinforced shoulder pads made from ultra-tough Cordura. Known for its incredible resistance to abrasion and tearing, Cordura makes this shirt the perfect choice for anyone working in construction or scaffolding.

Its comfortability comes from its soft polycotton mix which is used to weave the fabric of each t-shirt, with every triple-stitched seam sewn to provide an exceptional fit. The premium fabric used is soft touch 200gsm.

It must be noted that the fabrics for the deluxe t-shirt and hoodie were carefully selected as a poly-cotton blend, not just for their durability but also because they resist shrinking, unlike regular cotton. Plus, they offer exceptional colour retention, ensuring the garments look vibrant and fresh for longer.
