Tradestaff & Tradestaff Workwear: Our Story

Established in the Canterbury region back in 1996

Our journey began as a natural evolution of Tradestaff, New Zealand’s leading trades and industrial recruitment firm. Leveraging nearly 30 years of industry expertise and on-site experience from workers and business owners across New Zealand, we developed a firm understanding of the need for workwear that actually stands up to the rigours of the Kiwi job site. Our mission at Tradestaff Workwear is to bridge that gap, combining our deep understanding of workplace safety with a commitment to providing high-performance uniforms, PPE, footwear and clothing for workers across New Zealand.

Quality Workwear for NZ Workers

Building upon the reputation for reliability that defines Tradestaff’s recruitment legacy, Tradestaff Workwear applies those same core values to every garment we supply. Our customers benefit from more than just a product, they gain an integrated uniform and workwear partner with an expansive nationwide network.

Since launching in 2019, Tradestaff Workwear has been dedicated to providing a variety of uniforms, workwear, gloves, footwear, hi-vis workwear, PPE and accessories that meets the needs of real people on real worksites. We are proud to support workers, businesses and communities across NZ with a wide range of workwear suitable for hospitality, traffic management, healthcare, construction, food production, freezing works, plumbing/electrical, welding and more!

Client Testimonials

We came across Tradestaff Workwear because we have had a relationship with Tradestaff for around seven or eight years for staffing, and it came around that now we can have branded wear from Tradestaff Workwear, and that worked really well hand in glove. So we found we had a great service from both sides of Tradestaff. In our industry, we come across lots of other people wearing work gear, and we say to them that if we would recommend anybody, it would be Tradestaff Workwear. The lead times are small, and they'll come to site and work with our guys to find things that not only suits us, but looks good, and will do the job.

We received the jackets and aprons on Tuesday afternoon, and they were in use by Wednesday. The embroidery looks fantastic, and the jackets are not only comfortable but also have a sharp, professional appearance. Thanks so much for supplying them, Greg! We’ll definitely be reaching out for any future uniform needs.

— Jamie Trudgeon, Head Chef, Fabel Hotel Christchurch

We are very happy with the new workwear, high quality, plenty of flexibility making it easy to carry out physical work, also very classy looking. Emma from Tradestaff Workwear is fantastic, makes life very easy for managers, great communication and organisation, a real asset to Tradestaff, the staff members receive an individualised box with their uniform in it.

— Ryan Adams, Clearwater Golf Club

Thanks to the team at Tradestaff Workwear for our uniforms. Chloe was very helpful, flexible in accommodating our busy schedule, and clear communications while testing fitting, guiding us through the design process the gear was produced and delivered quickly, we’ll be back for our future uniform and safety gear requirements

— Benny Yan, Garage 5

The Tradestaff team and especially Emma were great to work with. We had our new corporate wear with embroidery completed for our warehouse and sales staff with the turnaround being quicker than estimated. Emma’s communication was top class and we are most impressed with the quality of the gear and the embroidery really stands out. The staff who didn’t order gear in the initial shipment have now requested we get a 2ndorder underway which we sent to Tradestaff yesterday. Thanks to the team at Tradestaff for a project well done

— John Bell, Jackson Allison Medical Supplies

Great Service! Exceptionally helpful throughout the whole process, going above and beyond in providing help and advice. The gear looks great, and we look forward to doing business with Tradestaff workwear again.
