Lee Dawson Managing Director Samuel Brothers tailors

UK supply chains in the textile industry are becoming “increasingly difficult”.

Samuel Brothers, established in 1830 in London, has previously had locations in Oxford Street, Clerkenwell Green and later in Aldershot, and now has a shop in Frimley Green as well as Sandhurst.

Along with those in the army, the company makes ceremonial dress and uniforms for the police and fire service.

Despite it making the end product more expensive, managing director Lee Dawson said the company supported the UK textile industry including for the cloth, braids, cotton, buttons and threads that make up the uniforms.
