Midway Clothing

You can order branded clothing, workwear and promotional items from one Nottingham supplier that decorates garments itself. You approve a visual proof before anything goes into production. You can also book a free site visit to see the clothing before you buy, and the company says it delivers nationwide.

Midway Clothing, which also trades as Midway Clothing & Promotions, supplies corporate clothing, workwear and promotional merchandise from Nottingham. It describes itself as a local family business. It says it supplies decorated and personalised clothing to hundreds of organisations, from small businesses to large PLCs. Its website names businesses, schools, universities, hospitals and sports clubs among its customers, and says it has over 10 years’ experience in the promotional merchandise sector.

Products and brands

The clothing range comes in sizes for men, women and children and includes:

• T-shirts, including crew neck, V-neck, long sleeve, ladies fitted, contrast and performance styles
• Polo shirts, sweatshirts and hoodies
• Fleeces, jackets, soft shell jackets and knitwear
• Shirts and blouses, activewear and headwear

Its workwear and PPE section lists aprons and tabards, bodywarmers, coveralls, flame retardant clothing, hi-vis workwear, rainwear, safety footwear, safety headwear and work trousers. The company says it works with Dickies, Portwest, Tranemo and Amblers, which hold stock in the UK. Its promotional products include pens, keyrings, umbrellas, mugs and other drinkware, lanyards, bags, desk accessories, diaries and calendars, and mouse mats. These are either sourced from the Far East or made in the UK. It says its promotional suppliers are approved by the BPMA and audited regularly.

Production and capabilities

Midway says it specialises in embroidery and screen printing. It can embroider a company name, logo, website, phone number, or individual names and initials. For print it lists screen printing, transfer printing, CAD cut vinyl transfers and digital printing. It uses manual or automatic equipment depending on the product, the finish and the quantity.

Trade accounts and ordering

You start an order by email or phone. The company then sends a quotation by email, followed by a visual proof or sample that shows the size, colour and position of your logo. Once you approve the proof, it quotes a standard UK production lead time of 10 working days. Its terms say it aims to deliver within 15 working days of a written order. You can collect finished goods or have them sent by UK courier, normally next day. Prices are in GBP excluding VAT, and you pay in full when you order unless the company agrees otherwise. Samples are invoiced, then credited if you return them in perfect condition within 4 weeks. Our guide on briefing a merchandise supplier covers what to include in a first enquiry.
