New look delivers for postal staff

In the RoI, 6000 An Post
workers have started their
new year with a new look
uniform designed specifically
for mail collection and
delivery staff by Hunter
Apparel in conjunction with
a team of An Post
management and staff.

The smart, hard wearing
range includes a GORE-TEX
fabric foul weather suit,
which protects staff from the
elements in wind, rain, snow
or shine. Through investing
in and maintaining the new
durable GORE-TEX suits, An
Post is making cost savings
due to low replacement rates,
which also reduces its carbon
footprint.

A number of workers
tested out the new uniforms
during wearer trials during
2010 before the entire work
force was issued at the end of
the year with their new
uniform for the New Year.

The striking and modern
design GORE-TEX suits have
been a proven success at
keeping staff warm and dry.

The quality of the garments
is said to be assured and
maintained throughout the
manufacturing process from
technical fabric product,
garment design and construction
and testing of the end
products before dispatch.

GORE-TEX garments are
renowned for providing
breathable comfort as well as
waterproof and windproof
foul weather protection.
