Sparks & Ellis is one of South Africa’s leading uniform suppliers and manufacturers. It specialises in complete uniform solutions and offers clients a head-to-toe service. Developing technologically advanced products, Sparks & Ellis offers uniforms and equipment for security, traffic, fire and rescue, ambulance, law enforcement, and corporate clients. Sparks & Ellis Uniforms is head-quartered in Cape Town and has branches in Johannesburg, Durban and Port Elizabeth. At about the same time Sparks & Ellis started manufacturing uniform shirts for the local traffic officers. These had to be bespoke tailor-made using a few highly skilled local tailors in and around Plein Street. This business grew quite rapidly and a turning point was reached when a tender was won for about 40 traffic officers. Within a few weeks this factory had been bought lock stock and barrel. The uniform business took off and in the mid-eighties the Barrack Street premises were built to house K-Way, Cape Union Mart warehouse and offices, Sparks & Ellis and Group Head Office. Sparks grew from strength to strength in the new premises. Sales agents were employed around the country and offices were opened in Joburg, PE and Durban. A new breakthrough came when premier security company, Gray Security Services, were approached with a crazy plan to hold stock of their uniforms and offer them a previously unheard of delivery service of 48 hours from receipt of order. In order to accomplish this, systems and processes had to be re-invented and this led to the introduction of a state-of-the-art internet based on-line ordering system. The whole company was growing rapidly and eventually a decision was made to move the K-Way factory to Ottery. Sparks then moved up one floor to take over the top floor of the Barrack Street premises in 1997 and continued trading in these premises until 2010 when, once again, Sparks outgrew their allocated space and had to find alternative premises. Sparks managed to find a newly renovated and modern building in an up-and-coming part of Woodstock. Within a few short months Sparks & Ellis had moved into to larger and much better premises. The company has settled into the spacious and modern Woodstock premises and are now geared up to move the company to a new level.
