The Launch
Wave Uniforms began as a humble home-based business, founded by Sarah Phillips, driven by her passion for quality and her deep understanding of the yachting industry. With samples stored in a small storage unit, Sarah managed everything herself—from product sourcing to taking custom orders and personally delivering uniforms yacht-to-yacht across the ports of Palma de Mallorca. Her dedication to building strong relationships with clients and ensuring each order met the highest standards of craftsmanship quickly gained her a loyal customer base.
What started as a one-woman operation has evolved into a thriving business, now offering a full range of high-quality crew uniforms. Sarah’s hands-on approach and commitment to providing personalized service laid the foundation for Wave Uniforms to grow into the trusted and successful company it is today, serving some of the most prestigious yachts around the world.

In this position, Garth quickly became instrumental in expanding Wave Uniforms' client base and refining the company's approach to serving its customers.

Showroom
Wave Uniforms took a significant step forward by opening a dedicated showroom on Avda Joan Miró, available exclusively by appointment. This move not only marked an important milestone for the company but also enhanced the overall customer experience. By offering clients the opportunity to visit the showroom in person, Wave Uniforms created a space where they could engage with the products on a deeper level—seeing, feeling, and trying on the high-quality uniforms firsthand. This tactile experience allowed clients to appreciate the craftsmanship, fit, and materials in a way that digital interactions couldn't replicate.
The showroom also provided a more intimate and personalized service, allowing clients to consult with experts, receive tailored recommendations, and find the perfect uniform for their needs. This strategic decision helped strengthen client relationships, reinforce the brand’s reputation for quality, and position Wave Uniforms as a leader in the yachting apparel industry.

process optimization
During the process optimization phase, Ashley Phillips was introduced to the company and played a pivotal role in modernizing its operations. He implemented an advanced stock management process system, which not only improved the efficiency of inventory control but also reduced overhead costs and minimized stock discrepancies. This system allowed the company to better anticipate demand, optimize order fulfillment, and ensure timely restocking, creating a more seamless flow across the supply chain.
Additionally, Ashley developed a sophisticated, user-friendly webpage that gave clients a clearer and more engaging view of the company’s product range. The website enabled customers to browse the extensive catalog, check stock availability, and interact with the brand, thus enhancing the overall client experience. This digital presence was crucial in establishing a stronger market footprint, making the company more accessible and transparent.

Re-brand
The company made a strategic decision to embark on a full rebrand, recognizing that its previous visual identity no longer aligned with its evolving goals and image. As part of this initiative, the company unveiled a sleek and modern logo to replace the old one, which had become somewhat outdated over the years. The previous design, while functional, lacked the fresh, contemporary appeal that was needed to reflect the company’s innovative direction and commitment to staying ahead of industry trends.
The rebrand extended beyond just the logo, as the company adopted updated branding across all touchpoints, including its website, marketing materials, and communications. This new visual identity gave the company a cohesive, polished, and cutting-edge appearance, helping to better engage both existing clients and new audiences. It reinforced the company’s positioning as a modern, innovative leader in the market and helped attract a broader customer base by showcasing a revitalized and forward-focused image. Overall, the rebrand provided the company with a fresh, contemporary look that strengthened its market presence and aligned with its long-term growth strategy.

santa catalina
The company made a significant move by relocating its showroom to a public-facing shop in Santa Catalina, a bustling area near the largest ports on the island. This strategic location provided greater visibility and accessibility to its target market, including yacht crews and owners from the nearby marinas. The relocation marked a turning point for Wave Uniforms, as the company experienced rapid growth following the move.
With increased foot traffic and stronger ties to the yachting community, Wave Uniforms quickly became a go-to destination for premium yacht attire. The shop’s open-door policy allowed clients to visit without appointments, leading to a surge in demand. This growth was fueled by a dedicated and solid team that worked together to support the company’s expanding operations.
As a result, Wave Uniforms rocketed into the sky, establishing itself as one of the largest and most respected yachting uniform companies in the world. The new showroom not only boosted sales but also reinforced the company's reputation for delivering high-quality, customized uniforms, propelling it to international success.

Strategic Investment
Wave Uniforms took a bold and strategic step by purchasing the premises of its showroom, marking a new era of growth and stability for the company. This decision was made with a clear vision for the future, ensuring that Wave Uniforms had a permanent base of operations that couldn’t be disrupted by external factors, such as changes in leasing terms or rising rental costs. By securing ownership of the space, the company gained long-term security and control over its environment, providing a solid foundation for continued expansion and success.
The move was driven by a desire for better future planning, ensuring that no one could take the business out of its established location. This allowed Wave Uniforms to focus on what truly matters: delivering high-quality, tailored yachting uniforms and providing exceptional customer service. Owning the premises also offered more opportunities for customizing and optimizing the showroom to better showcase the brand’s products.
