Staying Productive Through the Cold Snap: Winter-Ready Workwear That Works

Welcome to our November edition.

The clocks have gone back, the mornings are colder, and winter has settled in. This is the time of year when reliable workwear stops being a “nice to have” and becomes essential. From freezing starts to wet and windy afternoons, teams across the UK need a kit that keeps them warm, dry, and visible while still looking professional.

At Site Supply, our focus is simple: giving your team the gear they need to stay protected and productive throughout the winter.

Supplier of the Month: Nimbus Nordic

We had a different feature planned this month, but when a product this good hits your inbox, you make space for it.

Our supplier spotlight goes to Nimbus Nordic and their outstanding Avalon Jacket. It’s a brilliant mix of performance, sustainability and modern design, and it’s quickly become one of the stand-out products of the season.

Why it’s worth your attention:

• Made with a durable recycled shell and water-repellent coating
• Filled with 650+ fill power certified down for exceptional warmth
• Two-way stretch for added comfort and movement
• Loom Woven Chamber Technology for a clean, stitch-free finish and zero feather leakage
• Smart, functional details including reverse zips and well-designed internal pockets

It’s a premium, engineered jacket built for work, commuting and travel- a great addition to any winter uniform rannge.

Product Focus: Thermal Fleeces for Every Team

Thermal fleeces remain one of the best all-round winter choices for businesses — warm, lightweight, great for branding, and suitable for almost every working environment.

What makes them a winter staple:

• Reliable warmth thanks to soft-touch internal fabric
• Lightweight and comfortable for long shifts
• Professional, uniform-friendly fit
• Embroidery sits cleanly on fleece material
• Available in a wide range of colours and sizes

They’re excellent value and ideal for teams who need practical day-to-day warmth. If you’d like to see samples, we can arrange that too.

Client Story: Logistics Firm Prepares for Peak Season

This month, we supported a national logistics company as they geared up for their busiest period of the year. Their goal was to get every member of staff- from warehouse teams to drivers - equipped for winter well before the Christmas rush.

What we delivered:

• Driver Kits: Insulated jackets and performance base layers
• Warehouse Uniforms: Durable sweatshirts and softshell gilets
• Spill Kits:  Full Spill and contamination kits for the containment of fuel and chemical spills
• Brand Visibility: Clean, consistent embroidery across all items
• Reliable Timelines: Everything delivered ahead of peak-season pressures

The result was a confident, cohesive team ready for long hours, cold weather and high-demand trading.

Pro Insight: How to Prepare for December Demand

If you haven’t already finalised your winter uniforms, now is the time. December brings tighter stock, increased turnaround times and unpredictable weather.

Here’s how to stay ahead:

1. Secure Outerwear Early Jackets and fleeces become harder to source as the month goes on.

2. Order Spare Sizes Medium, large and XL go first - having extras avoids last-minute issues.

3. Cover All Weather Conditions Layering is key: base layers, mid-layers and outerwear make all the difference.

4. Beat Branding Delays Embroidery queues grow quickly in December, so submit your logo early.

If you’re not sure where to start, we’re happy to help you plan your team’s winter bundle.
