This is cotton that has been grown without any artificial fertilisers or harmful chemicals by farmers who are following organic practices but are still within the threeyear period before gaining full organic certification. By paying farmers fairly for cotton while transitioning to organic certification, there is a greater incentive for them to start the journey to organic. The new styles include the unisex M04 Essential Hoodie, a 280gsm brushed fleece hoodie, the matching MK04 Kids Essential Hoodie from Mantis Kids, and the BZ63 Baby Essential Hoodie from Babybugz. Also new for 2022 from Mantis are sweatshirts and T-shirts, along with a bodysuit and T-shirt from Babybugz. imagesmag.uk/mantis2022 Tru Uniforms wins schoolwear supplier award Schoolwear and workwear supplier Tru Uniforms has won a regional accolade in Corporate Livewire’s Prestige Awards. Located in Wythenshawe in south Manchester, the family-run business has been named School Supply Store of the Year for Manchester and north-west England 2021/2022. The shop, which also sells online, was formerly SMFA until it was acquired in 2020 and became part of Tru Schoolwear Group. Since then, it has expanded more into workwear, drawing on the embroidery, screen printing and vinyl printing resources of its Abbey Street Shopping Centre site in Blackburn, Lancashire. Tru Uniforms director Ankur Vij said: “It has been important for me that we give high levels of service so I am happy to get this recognition. I want to make sure parents get what they want and need. I am always listening to feedback.” imagesmag.uk/tru-prestige Inside Tru Uniforms’ store in Wythenshawe in Manchester Schoolwear supplier named employer of the year Schoolwear supplier One+All has been named employer of the year in the Greater Manchester Good Employment Awards in recognition of its commitment to fair employment for all.
