“Our core business over the years has been providing safe and durable workwear that comply with all the safety standards required to go to work safely,” Mr Quinn said.
“Each item of clothing, especially if it is high-visibility, has to meet the Australian safety standards.
“The companies that supply us with products have had the items rigorously tested to Australian safety standards, so that they comply with all the requirements, such as brightness for day-night wear and durability.
“And it is the same for footwear — all the footwear we sell complies with Australian safety standards.”
Hip Pocket Workwear Echuca has a full range of high-visibility clothes, including items embossed with reflective tape for people working at night.
The business works with a wide range of businesses, including schools, hospitals, councils and light and heavy industry to supply workwear and occupational health and safety products.
On top of supplying high-quality clothing that meets Australian safety standards, Hip Pocket Workwear Echuca has a large embroidery business attached to its operations.
This means it carries out a lot of promotional work around town for businesses and community groups.
“All corporate logos can be embroidered on to every garment that we sell, and in this day and age, most companies want corporate branding on their apparel,” Mr Quinn said.
“We work with schools, retirement businesses, hospitals, licensed clubs, and we do a lot of corporate work with football clubs, golf clubs, tennis clubs, cricket clubs, all that sort of stuff.
“Hip Pocket Workwear Echuca supports a lot of organisations that are fundraising, trying to develop their profiles in the community with wearable merchandise.
“We do a fair bit of embroidery work in the horse industry, with lightweight horse rugs and things like that being popular for embroidery.
“It is amazing what industries we work in.”
