About the UK Tights Blog

The UK Tights Blog is the official, in-house writing project of UK Tights and is entirely written by Kyle (that’s me!), the world’s greatest blogger!

I haven’t won any awards to prove I’m the world’s greatest blogger, but some time you just get a feelin’, you know what I mean!

This blog is dedicated to publishing content on everything leg wear or fashion related. I write about all of our new products, new brands, new designs and I’m always publishing on exciting new stuff you can find at UK Tights.

I’m currently running a number of series at the moment, so I’ll give you a brief preview of what I’ve been publishing.

15 Minutes of Fame

This series concentrates on reviewing one individual product at a time. I’m running this series so that my readers (that’s you!) can get a glimpse of some of our specialist items up close, and it gives you a little more time a get to know a brand and its designs a little better.

Great Movie Scenes

This saga concentrates on reviewing great movies and memorable scenes, and recommeding the perfect hosiery to go with it. This project is the one I’m most enthusiastic about, because I’m a big film buff, and I do enjoy chatting aimlessly about my favourite scenes. I’m particularly proud of my review for Breakfast at Tiffany’s!

Captain’s Log

Now… This is the pride and joy of my blog, the crown jewel of my writing career! Captains Log, the thoughts and feelings of the universes greatest Starship Captain, Capt. James T. Kirk! He is a big fan of my blog and is a raving mad man for our YouTube channel! This series of posts updates faithful readers on new YouTube projects, our viewership and how all our videos are doing, as well as a regular update on editor’s choice (that’s me again!), so you won’t miss out on the real gems in the collection!

All of these series, as well as others are available for free to our subscribers.

About UK Tights

History

UK Tights was found in September 2005 by me and my husband Jonathan. We started our business at home working from out of the study; thinking that we could maintain our small family business with its focus on customer care. We underestimated the value of this customer care greatly and in a few short months the whole house was taken over and we decided our business was ready to move into full time premises.

As we are always exploring the market for new opportunities to give customers what they need, we found the swimwear market had a gap that needed to be filled, like the hosiery market before it. With this, UK Beachwearwas born. With the same dedication to customer care as with UK Tights, we went about providing a wide range of bikinis, swimsuits and other beachwear at a range of prices to suit all our customers.

In 2007, my husband Jonathan became our full time Systems Development Engineer and Java Programmer, and has helped to make our site accessible and user friendly. In 2009, we tripled the size of our business and now provide services to the whole world as one of the largest online retailers of hosiery and swimwear.

Ethos

When UK Tights started trading, we believed that there was very little choice of capable, efficient and experienced retailers in the hosiery market. Too many companies are centred on fashion, without thinking of practicality, too many driven by profit, without consideration for a customer’s budget and too many focusing on crazes, without a thought to alternative tastes.

UK Tights is founded upon three principles that make us unique in the hosiery market.

1. Family Business

We are a business that has been founded by husband and wife, and has expanded with the help of our two eldest sons. Because of this, we understand the value of teamwork, cooperation and mutual gain. This has helped shape UKTights into a caring company that gives efficient service for a fair price, and never takes advantage of our loyal customers.

2. Customer Care

They say that the customer is always right, but rarely is it asked if the customer is happy. Too often companies claim responsibility for mistakes, but do nothing to make sure the customer is satisfied with the results. Here at UK Tights, we make sure that a customer’s satisfaction is the number one priority on our list. Every person who takes the time to place an order with us, or chooses UK Tights over other retailers deserves our attention, which is why we provide not only online ordering, but also take orders over the phone, so that the customer is free to choose whatever service is convenient to them.

3. Choice

While our number one priority for everyday business is customer care, our number one priority for products is choice. We pride ourselves in provided one of the widest ranges of items available in today’s hosiery market. We sell over forty different brands of hosiery and beachwear, and are continually taking on new products and brands to offer our customers the greatest range of up-to-date hosiery and swimwear on the market.
