How St Hilda’s Achieved Consistent, High-Quality Uniforms With P&C Uniforms

Before Partnering With P&C Uniforms

Before we began supplying St Hilda’s School, the uniform program was facing several challenges that were limiting the school’s ability to present a unified and reliable brand image. There were inconsistencies across colours, sizing and logo usage, which led to a mismatched appearance among students. Uniform costs were significantly higher than industry benchmarks, and the school was waiting up to 8–10 weeks for deliveries because there was no stock service in place. Their back-to-school order had also been delivered two months late, causing disruption during a critical period. In addition, parents had raised concerns about the fabrics being used for dresses and tunics, prompting the need for an immediate improvement in quality.

• Inconsistent colours, sizing and logos

• Extremely high uniform prices

• 8–10 week delivery timeframe with no stock service

• Back-to-school order delivered two months late

• Parent complaints regarding dress and tunic fabric quality

How P&C Uniforms Helped Transform Their Uniform Program

Once St Hilda’s transitioned to P&C Uniforms, we delivered substantial improvements across cost, quality, consistency and service. We reduced their wholesale pricing by 30–40 percent for core uniform items, and by 30 percent for Teamwear items, making their uniform program far more affordable for families. We standardised their colours and logo usage across all garments, ensuring a cohesive and professional school identity. We also introduced improved fabrics for their tunics and dresses, which quickly resulted in more positive feedback from parents.

Thanks to our 100 percent stock service, the school no longer waits 8–10 weeks for replenishments. Instead, items are dispatched within three days or less by courier, or hand-delivered by our team on the same day when required. Their next back-to-school order was delivered on time, setting a new benchmark for reliability. St Hilda’s also gained generous rewards through our Loyalty Program, which they reinvested into new promotional, merchandise and staff items. Additionally, their Teamwear orders under our Toughster brand earned further rewards, expanding their ability to introduce even more value-added items at no additional cost.
