Alexandra started trading as Alexandra Drapery Company. The business started trading in the mid-1850s in Bristol. At the time Bristol was one of the most influential ports in the country, a centre for manufacturing and a surprisingly high level of engineering. Alfred Issac Davis saw the opportunity to sell fabrics and household linens with all clothing being made to order. The garments were even delivered to homes. The company supplied clothing to the women that volunteered during the two world wars and this slowly led the transition into the healthcare industry. It was a sound business decision as the company has gradually expanded its customer base and is known as the premier supplier of business clothing and protective wear in the UK.
Today they have an extensive selection of items available to be sold to individuals and businesses. Perhaps most relevant is the personal protective equipment which includes masks, safety goggles, gloves, footwear, and even coveralls and ear protection. Alongside this, they have an extensive collection of healthcare clothing, with special designs for each different sector. They also offer everything that you could need in the hospitality sector, including tabards and chef clothing. Alexandra also stocks a range of work clothing for spa and beauty facilities and even has a small collection of business and leisurewear, ensuring you and your staff are dressed for every occasion.
Alexandra no longer operates from physical premises meaning that there is no store to visit. However, it isn’t needed. The website is very well designed and easy to use. The moment you arrive on the page you’ll find the latest protection is shown with quick links at the top to all the different categories. One-click will have you browsing and adding items to your basket. For inspiration simply scroll down through the various images! Nearer the bottom of the site is the guides. These are useful with sizing, how to measure, garment care, and even how to complete the buying process. The company also offers digital catalogues which can make it easier for a team to shop and decide. You’ll also appreciate the logo addition service that makes the garments more personal and ensures your staff is advertising for you.
If you have a query with an order or even before you order then the customer service team is on hand to help. You can fill in the online form with your existing customer number (if you have one), and a note regarding your query. The team will respond and resolve your query quickly. It is also possible to email them or even to call their office. However, the online form is generally the most efficient method.
The amount of time it takes to deliver your items will depend on whether they are having a logo added or not, this will add a couple of days to the delivery schedule. The majority of orders are available for standard shipping at a small cost, which means you’ll receive your order within 1-2 working days. However, providing you don’t need a logo adder you can choose an express option that can be there the next working day. All orders can be tracked
Alexandra is operating in a competitive industry and, as such, they appreciate that they need to have promotions and offers in place to keep you coming back for more. There are some good deals to be had and they are open to negotiation on bulk orders. However, you are currently on the www.1offers.co.uk site and that means you can access an array of free discount codes. These can make a significant difference to the cost of your order and all you have to do is enter the code when paying! Codes are checked daily as they change frequently. That does mean it is best to take it and use it, saving a code is not advisable.
Alexandra has a newsletter and all they ask for is your email address. It is the most efficient way to be kept up to date with all the latest developments. They’ll even send you special offers and other exciting information. However, you can also connect with them on Instagram, Twitter, and other major channels. This gives you the chance to chat with other customers and swap stories. It can be an effective technique to boost confidence before confirming an order. You may even come across some useful tips and advice.
