CHESHUNT, England, June 20, 2011 -


 

Tesco is already gearing up for back to school in September,
even though the summer term has only just started, by unveiling its
one-price-fits-all school uniform.

Despite rising cotton prices, Tesco has managed to offer
customers a low price href="www.clothingattesco.com/back-to-school/school-uniform-now-ps360-/icat/value-schoolwear/">
school uniform option from the Tesco Value range. The flat
price applies to all sizes (3-16 years) so regardless of a child’s
age parents can expect to pay the same price giving families on the
tightest budgets great value.

Jan Marchant, Tesco
Clothing buying director said: “Parents like different price
options for Back to School and our Value range offers them a
fantastic quality product, fully covered by our ethical trading
programme, at an unbeatable price. We are pleased to offer our
customers a whole school uniform at the lowest possible price, and
certainly the most competitive price on the high street.”

About Tesco:

Tesco is able to offer its £4.50 uniform to customers based on
strong relationships with its suppliers built over a long period of
time, and also due to the volumes it buys in.  Purchasing high
volumes from suppliers means Tesco can work together with its
manufacturers to pass on fantastic cost savings to customers.

Tesco is a founder member of the Ethical Trading Initiative and
continues to support efforts to improve workers’ conditions in all
the countries and factories its buys from.  Tesco has created
a green guide showing factories how they can cut their energy use
(and bills).

Tesco offers clothing banks in selected stores to encourage
parents to recycle old school uniforms.  Old school uniforms
collected in the clothing banks are donated to several charities
and the money raised will then be used to support good causes.

Tesco’s successful Buy One, Give One school uniform donation
scheme is about to launch in stores and online for the third year.
For every skirt, trouser or two pack of Fairtrade cotton polo
shirts bought from our ’You Buy One, We Give One’ range this
summer, Tesco will donate a complete uniform to a child in Kenya,
Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.
