New starter at northern

[Greenybo64]

Hi I’m just wondering can anyone help me I’m due to start my training on the 27th July at Piccadilly on my starter pack it says to wear smart business attire does anyone know when you are issued your uniform before I go out and buy a suit which I’ll only probably use till I get my uniform anyway

thanks in advance

You don't need a full suit - just don't turn up in jeans and a t shirt. Some trousers and a shirt will do if you have that. Uniform varies greatly in my experience - sometimes it appears right away, other times it can take weeks or longer.

thanks for the reply I’ll do that then also do you know about the staff pass do I need to send it off to head office or can I scan and email them back I’m just thinking for the photo ? Cheers

I just wore shirt and trousers for the first week, and by the Friday of that week my uniform had arrived.

Have you not already been asked for a photo?

A Tesco suit will cost about £40 - worth getting one for that money.

I start a few weeks after you. I’m just wearing pants and a shirt. Tie and / or suit not required I’ve been told

I'd also wear some trousers if I were you. Probably a bit too much flesh showing otherwise.

Haha haha yeah maybe that’s a good idea lol

Please don't turn up in jeans and t shirt it will be frowned upon.

Shirt and trousers will be perfectly fine
