About Ridgeback

Built for the site and the boardroom

Named for a South African dog with a distinctive ridge, Ridgeback is a clothing distributor with three divisions and one standard of service.

Who we are

One supplier, three wardrobes

Most teams need a few very different things: gear that protects people on the ground, clothing that represents the company well, and kit that stands up to a working kitchen. Ridgeback covers all three. Ridgeback Site handles workwear and PPE: boots, overalls, gloves, masks and hi-vis. Ridgeback Corporate handles the formal side: shirts, trousers, jackets, knitwear and neat footwear. Ridgeback Hospitality covers chef whites, aprons, front-of-house and housekeeping wear.

How we work

Quote first, sell second

We don’t run a card checkout. You build a list of what you need and send it through; we come back with real pricing, a sizing plan and branding options. It keeps things honest: you see the full picture before committing, and we get the order right the first time.

Mission

“To equip South Africa’s corporate, industrial and PPE workforce with durable, high-quality gear that keeps people safe and productive on the job, built around what our customers need, not what’s convenient for us to sell.”

Vision

“To be South Africa’s most trusted name in corporate, industrial and PPE workwear, recognised for uncompromising quality, safety, and service across every sector we supply.”

What we value

Straightforward, every time

Honest

We recommend what the job actually needs, and say so when a cheaper option will do.

Dependable

Consistent stock, consistent sizing, and quotes that arrive when we say they will.

Premium where it counts

Kit that lasts and looks the part, for the crew and the client-facing team alike.
