Wales' public transportation system has a new uniform, and it's made in Wales.
Wales' Transport for Wales has awarded a $2.4 million contract to a social enterprise called Elite Clothing Solutions to design, manufacture, and Branding the uniforms for more than 2,000 of its employees, the Telegraph reports.
The firm, which was founded in 1997, also helps with training for disadvantaged people and people with disabilities.
"Through a sustainable procurement approach, we are delighted to work with Elite and their consortium partners to increase economic and social value to Wales and reinvigorate the textile industry in Wales," says TfW's head of supply chain.
