Scruffs was announced Workwear Brand of the Year at the 2022 On The Tools Awards ceremony at Edgbaston Stadium, Birmingham, last month
Laura Cansfield, head of workwear at Scruffs, said: “We are absolutely delighted to have won the ‘Workwear Brand of the Year’ award. Our team at Scruffs is dedicated and passionate about providing our customers with the right workwear, at the right price and the best quality to be able to get the job done.
“We work hand-in-hand with the trades throughout the product development to ensure every garment brought to market meets its purpose, and we believe this sets us apart from the competition. We are extremely lucky to have a loyal following of customers.”
“With the introduction of more technical products, and the introduction of the women’s workwear range, we recognise the need to continually move forward with product innovation.
“The fact that we were selected by the On The Tools community, the very backbone of our trades industry, makes us not only immensely proud, but also solidifies the fact we can continue to grow with the industry and give the trades exactly what they need!”
Lee Wilcox, CEO of On The Tools, added: “I’d like to offer huge congratulations to Scruffs for winning the workwear award, as voted by real tradespeople. The industry and the people behind it have had a challenging couple of years following the pandemic and turbulence that has continued to grip the country.
“The awards are so important as they allow us to give recognition to the incredible people and businesses who contribute towards the success of UK construction.”
The event was presented by Irish comedian Keith Farnan, with 400 guests in attendance at a gala dinner. Eighteen awards were given out during the night, ranging from Apprentice of the Year to a Special Recognition, as well as Plasterer of the Year award for Naima Ben-Moussa, a plasterer dedicated to supporting survivors of domestic abuse by repairing damage to homes through her charity Rebuilding Lives.
Designed to recognise both individuals and leading brands, the award recipients were determined by a panel of industry judges and an online public vote.
