About Us

Everything about Tru Uniforms reflects the character of a proudly independent, family-run business. Built organically over the years, our growth has always been shaped by the needs and expectations of our loyal local customers.

Originally launched as Tru Schoolwear in 1991, the business has achieved consistent year-on-year growth and remains a leading name in the North West, particularly within the school uniform sector.

Over the years, Tru Schoolwear has expanded through the acquisition of several local businesses especially those with a strong schoolwear presence. Today, we supply uniforms to over 150 schools and work with more than 50 corporate organisations, with this number continuing to grow.

 

With over three decades of industry experience and a trusted network of suppliers, we have carefully balanced high-quality products with competitive, year-round pricing—ensuring our customers receive the best value without compromise.

We also offer a bespoke service, allowing us to create custom items whether it’s a one-off piece or a specialist size often at short notice. This flexibility sets us apart and enables us to meet the unique requirements of every customer.

As strong supporters of British manufacturing, we are proud to be one of the few retailers in Manchester and Accrington that ensure many of our schoolwear products are made in England from start to finish, with a continued focus on sustainability.

We work with some of the leading names in the industry, including: One+All (B-Corp), Trutex, David Luke, Falcon Sportswear, Chadwicks Teamwear, Winterbottom Schoolwear, Banner, and William Turner, among others.


Under the leadership of Mr Ash Vij, who has developed his expertise through years of hands-on experience at our Accrington branch, Tru Uniforms continues to evolve. Together with his team, he remains committed to sourcing and designing products that are both cost-effective and high quality. The team also works closely with school leadership and governors, ensuring uniforms remain practical, durable, and aligned with the needs and feedback of students and parents.
