case study: Taylor Made Designs Celebrates 40th Anniversary of Raising of The Mary Rose
This year marks the 40th anniversary of the recovery of the Mary Rose warship from the bed of the Solent, where she sank in 1545.

Following one of the most complex and expensive maritime salvage projects in history, the warship of the Tudor navy, serving under King Henry VIII, was finally recovered and laid to rest at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, where the ship’s restored remains are visited by thousands of tourists every year.

As part of a wider partnership with Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, Taylor Made Designs is proud to supply all the uniform needs of the 200 strong staff team and volunteers who manage the attraction and the award-winning museum built in 2013 to house recovered artifacts and tell the remarkable story of the ships journey to its final resting place.

James Taylor, Managing Director, Taylor Made Designs, says: “The Mary Rose represents an incredible part of our British history. It’s hard to believe 40 years have passed since it was recovered from the seabed off the south coast of England, a feat I remember witnessing on the news as a youngster. At Taylor Made Designs, are all incredibly proud to be able to play a very small part in supporting the Portsmouth Historic Dockyard in its quest to enable as many people as possible to visit the 473-year-old shipwreck and immerse themselves in the history and life of such an incredible artefact.

Dominic Jones, CEO of the Mary Rose Trust - the charitable organisation responsible for the Mary Rose and the development of the museum, says: “Taylor Made Designs consistently ensures all our staff and volunteers are kitted out in the custom-branded technical garments they need to go about their business. Ordering and deliveries are managed through an online portal, making it incredibly easy to manage stock and make sure everyone gets the garments they need, when they need them. I look forward to working with James and the team as we now head towards the 50th anniversary of the raising of the Mary Rose!”
Plans for the next 12 months
To continue to manufacture and supply quality workwear and merchandise that meets the evolving need of the market. Investment in new technologies and digitalisation remains a focus to ensure TMD optimises efficiencies and deliver a frictionless experience for our clients.

Recently TMD launched its end of use textile recycling programme, reducing the amount of textile waste that ends up in landfill and reducing carbon emission.

Moving forwards, TMD will continue to explore sustainable & ethical practices that protect the business and the planet.

Taylor Made Shares Impact of New Textile Recycling Programme
Last year, Taylor Made Designs launched its end of use textile recycling programme. Between January 1, and September 30, 1753Kg of  end of use textile materials, was collected from the TMD office, sorted, securely shredded and recycled.

The official Environmental Impact Statement shows that, by disposing of garments responsibly using this deconstruction and recycling process, a total of 2980Kg of CO2 has been saved from entering the atmosphere. Plus, an estimated 1,787,030 litres of water have been saved due to a combination of avoiding landfill and the impact saved from the recycling and re-purposing versus manufacturing from new.

James Taylor, MD, TMD, says: “Our programme makes responsible and secure textile disposal possible for any sized organisation. The whole recycling process is fully documented, giving clients written certification of the entire process including their own Environmental Impact Statement.

“When Places Leisure rebranded recently, we disposed of all their redundant workwear via this recycling process. Garments were shredded and repurposed into new yards, insulation and composites or turned into Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF). 100 per cent avoided ending up in landfill.”
