The award was presented by fashion designer, Jeff Banks.

The new clothing range, supplied by Dimensions Corporatewear of Castle Donington includes improvements made as a result from feedback from postmen and women out in the field.

Said Bob: "The new uniform has had great feedback from our wearers and our customers, and it's really gratifying to have the team's hard work recognised by industry professionals as well."

The new range is currently being worn by Royal Mail staff in the Brighton, Redhill and the Thames Valley and will be rolled out to 150,000 colleagues later this year.

The most obvious change was the colour scheme, which is now red and dark grey. Other changes include patch pockets on trousers, an improved storm-proof coat plus better cut and improved fabrics.

Sarah Allan of Dimensions Corporatewear, who has worked on the project with the Royal Mail team, said: "A lot of hard work and detailed research has been undertaken to ensure the garments are smart, comfortable and practical as well as meeting the wearers' expectations in terms of performance."
