About Cottonmount:

Following a strategic review, the objectives became clear: first, to rejuvenate a long-established family-owned workwear distributor, aligning it with the vision of its next-generation leadership. Second, to modernise and digitise operations, introducing 24/7 online ordering and an integrated CRM. Lastly, to reduce reliance on distributorships, unlock growth opportunities, improve margins, and build resilience against macroeconomic threats.
