Uniform will be sorted out after you've been there a while.
Not sure about the contract but you can ask at the induction day.
Anything sensible can be worn for the induction day.

TY. Been asking managers for 2 years now and each manager encountered a problem. Ive worked there 2 years and never ordered anything so they suspended my account. The number you gave helped me sort it all out and now i can place the order online myself from now on.

ty for the number. The last two winters were very cold and wet lol sorted now

I did this haha. Got my basic entitlement then never ordered anything for two and a half years not really thinking about it. I needed some stuff and they'd deleted me off the system when I asked the gaffers to check!

To be fair, the only thing you need is the big hi viz waterproof which I got in my first week because somebody gave me a brand new one they didn't want. I've got all the stuff now and virtually never wear any of it.
