A Brilliant Guide to the full service from us! Taking care of more than just your chefswear. Brilliant Locker Systems Providing the best garments is only half the story - ensuring the right garments are distributed to each person is what our Managed Workwear Distribution service is all about. Which is why we can provide a full CAD service, designing your optimum Locker Room with lockers, rails and automatic distribution systems (to Food Industry standards if that s you). We can make it as hi-tech and bespoke as you require (packing each wearer s garments together) or if you just want an offthe-shelf locker rental system that does the job simply and efficiently - we ll be happy to oblige. Brilliant Floor Protection (we re talking mats ) Brilliant Floor Protection reduces cleaning costs (by up to 50%), extends the life of your internal flooring, improves the working environment and promotes your organisation. We have a huge range of sizes, colours, mat types and designs. Our Anti-fatigue mat is designed to improve the working environment and productivity of people who spend long periods of time standing (in tests it worked a treat, with testers reluctant to give up their mats!) We operate a Lift and Lay service collecting, replacing and laundering your mats on an agreed basis. Ask us for a no-obligation Floor Protection Survey. Brilliant Washrooms How well you take care of your washrooms says a lot about you! It s the one area that s so easy to get right, especially if you use our Brilliant Washroom tailored rental service. We have all the right products for both Staff and Guest Washrooms, from innovative towel cabinets to an extensive range of the more usual items, including hand washing and drying, air control and feminine hygiene. Brilliant Personalised Chefswear Keep everyone looking corporate by adding personalised marking and identification to garments. Add logos, staff names, straplines, promotional messages - whatever you need. Tell us what you d like and we ll give you our considered advice on the best way of marking your garments (traditional emblems, embroidered logos and lettering, or heat sealed emblems). It enhances your brand, gives easy garment identification and saves your money - branded garments are currently tax exempt! 11 12

A Brilliant Guide to the why s, how s & what if s of renting from us! Vital Statistics A quick guide to everything. Why Rent? It makes sense on so many levels to rent your chefswear from us, rather than buy your own (or use another supplier). There s no initial capital outlay for starters. Choose from our extensive range of chefswear, knowing that our laundry process gives 100% germ kill (better than an in-house wash). We manage the whole life cost of the garment, for a more cost effective service. We ll never sell you anything you simply don t need, and we won t lock you into an inescapable contract - it s just not the Brilliant way! Our trading terms are fair and reasonable with competitive pricing. We give you guidelines, manuals, wallcharts and training so we can work well together, plus Management Reports with all the important information in one really helpful, easy to understand document. Sounds great, but you re already in a Rental Agreement? Talk to us - we re experts at unravelling the complexities of such contracts, without you getting wallopped by expensive penalty charges. How does it work? Ask us to take care of your workwear and this is what you can expect to happen. Put very simply - we carry out a comprehensive survey of your existing site(s) then send a Brilliant person to correctly fit each member of staff. We wash-test the garments and personalise them (if you require). Once in use, we track each garment s movement using barcode technology, repairing and replacing as necessary. Having full traceability of garments gives us all the information we need to efficiently manage the whole life contract costs (so you have a more efficient, cost effective service from us). It s your chefswear - sorted. What about new wearers & leavers? Good question - we have systems in place to manage your chefswear as staff come and go, reducing hassle so everyone s happy. We establish an agreed scale of residual values for garments beforehand, so there s no nasty surprises. Our Chefswear Rental Agreements are flexible enough to meet your specific needs, with a free Size Exchange service on standard items to help accommodate staff turnover (customers tell us this is one of the best things about our Managed Chefswear Service).
