About the Employer
Kitlocker.com sprang into life all the way back in 2005. It was the brainchild of two Sheffield graduates who had a vision to significantly improve service levels in the university teamwear industry. They focused on creating client-specific online stores, making the kit ordering process less of a headache for clubs and organisations.
This early business model was the foundation of everything Kitlocker.com has become since, holding a significant presence across all sectors of the sportswear market including:
Education
Grassroots sport
Semi-Professional sport
National Governing bodies
Online retail
One thing remains consistent throughout all of the areas we operate in. And that is maintaining industry leading service levels, whilst always striving for better. We do that by investing in revolutionary technology, innovative systems and perhaps most importantly brilliant people.
But don’t take our word for it; Kitlocker.com has been entrusted to manage the brands of some of the most prestigious institutions within the market, including the Universities of both Oxford and Cambridge. We work on regular projects with The FA and Premier League. We also currently work with professional teams at national and international level in Cricket and Netball, whilst also growing our portfolio of semi-professional football clubs.
However big or small the order, if it’s important to you then it’s important to us. So whether you’re England Netball, a small grassroots football club or just ordering a pair of new trackies from Kitlocker.com; you can trust that we will provide a level of service that always aims to exceed expectations.
It’s not only our customers who we’ve built strong and lasting relationships with. Our partners and suppliers are integral to bringing you the products you want, when you want them. We work closely with the likes of Nike and adidas on a daily basis so that we can help accelerate the development of the teamwear industry.
