Here are some simple, practical ways to help your team stay warm this winter, and a few product ranges that make it easy to get everything you need in one place.

Layer Up: The Importance of Warm Workwear

When temperatures drop, the right clothing can make all the difference.

Our Winter Workwear Bundles are designed to keep teams protected from the elements while saving you money and time.

Whether your staff are working outdoors, in warehouses, or in unheated spaces, proper layering is key:

• Base layers wick away moisture and keep warmth in.
• Mid-layers like fleeces and softshells provide insulation.
• Outer layers such as waterproof jackets and hi-vis coats protect from wind and rain.

And don’t forget the extras – thermal gloves, hats, socks, and boots are essential for all-day comfort.

Tip: Our ready-to-order bundles take the guesswork out of winter PPE, so your team gets the right kit without overspending or underordering. Contact your account manager today for more information.

Warm from the Inside Out: Hot Drinks for Cold Days

Sometimes, the smallest comforts make the biggest difference. A hot drink can lift energy levels, boost morale, and help staff feel appreciated during long shifts in the cold.

From tea and coffee to hot chocolate and soup, stocking up on Catering & Breakroom Supplies is an easy way to keep spirits high this winter.

Don’t forget to include:

• Cups and stirrers
• Milk portions and sugar sachets

A warm drink station in every area, even temporary or warehouse spaces, goes a long way towards creating a happier, more motivated team.

Create a Comfortable Space: Heating and Break Areas

Cold offices and draughty corners don’t just affect comfort; they can impact focus and productivity too.

Adding portable heaters can help warm up temporary workspaces or under-heated areas quickly. Look for energy-efficient models and use timers to manage energy use.

For shared spaces, consider:

• Additional heaters for instant warmth
• Draught excluders and door seals to keep heat in
• Thermal blinds or curtains for added insulation

And remember to check your electrical safety by ensuring sockets and extension leads are safely rated for the equipment you’re using.

Stay Safe in Winter Conditions

Winter brings its own set of workplace hazards, from icy car parks to slippery floors and dark mornings. A few simple precautions can help prevent accidents and keep everyone safe.

Facilities & Safety Essentials to Have on Hand:

• Grit and salt bins for entrances and car parks
• De-icer sprays and shovels for quick clean-ups
• Wet floor signs for high-traffic indoor areas
• High-vis jackets and reflective gear for early starts and low light
• Portable lighting to brighten darker outdoor areas

Keep It Clean: Winter Cleaning Supplies

Cold weather means muddy boots, wet floors, and germs that spread more easily in enclosed spaces. A clean, dry workplace isn’t just nicer to work in – it’s safer too.

Stock up on Cleaning & Janitorial Supplies to stay on top of winter mess:

• Entrance mats to trap dirt and moisture
• Heavy-duty mops and buckets
• Disinfectant sprays and wipes for shared areas
• Hand sanitiser, tissues, and soap to reduce illness

Replacing mats and mops regularly prevents build-up and helps maintain professional, hygienic spaces all season long.

Protect Your People: PPE That Works as Hard as They Do

Cold weather affects more than comfort – it impacts dexterity, alertness, and reaction time. That’s why winter PPE is so important.

Ensure your team is equipped with:

• Insulated gloves and thermal liners
• Non-slip footwear for icy surfaces
• Hi-vis waterproof jackets and trousers
• Thermal hats, snoods, and socks

Staying warm means staying focused, and that reduces the risk of accidents across all working environments.

Small Steps That Make a Big Difference

A few extra habits can help your team stay healthy and productive through the colder months:

• Encourage short, regular breaks for outdoor teams
• Provide somewhere warm to rest and recharge
• Rotate tasks to reduce prolonged cold exposure
• Keep a few spare layers or gloves available for emergencies

These small touches show staff you care, and they help everyone stay at their best.

Think Sustainability and Smart Spending

Investing in durable, quality workwear and long-lasting equipment reduces replacement costs year after year.

Choosing energy-efficient heaters, recycled paper cups, or eco-friendly cleaning products also helps your sustainability targets without compromising performance.

And if managing multiple winter suppliers sounds like a headache, we can help with that too.

Our Tail-End Spend Management approach brings all your seasonal purchasing, from workwear to heaters and cleaning supplies, under one supplier. That means fewer invoices, simpler budgets, and better overall value.
