How S&N Infrastructure transitioned from rental to a direct-purchase FR program—without disruption, delay, or risk.
When S&N Infrastructure chose to walk away from uniform rental, they couldn’t afford delays, gaps, or compliance risks. They needed a direct-purchase FR program that would show up, fit right, and never leave their crews exposed. Feury Image Group made the switch seamless—and the impact immediate.
The challenge wasn’t so much in changing providers. It was about making sure no one on the job ever felt the change.
“Moving away from rental gave us more control and better options for our crews. Feury Image Group made the transition incredibly smooth. There wasn’t a single day our teams were without their protective gear, and that was critical for our operations.” – Brian Morehouse, S&N Director of Marketing
S&N Infrastructure is a division of N&S Construction, supporting large-scale infrastructure, power distribution, telecom, and utility projects across multiple states. Their teams work in high-risk environments—including roadways, highways, and active construction zones—where flame-resistant (FR) apparel and Class 3 high-visibility garments are mandatory.
Choosing Direct Purchase Over Rental
S&N Infrastructure had operated under a traditional uniform rental program that limited garment choice and flexibility. As their work evolved and costs increased, they began exploring a direct purchase model that could offer them more, including:
- Better FR garment selection
- More flexibility for employee choice
- Long-term cost control
- A clean transition away from rental without any disruption
Importantly, because they were still under contract with their rental provider, any transition had to be carefully timed to avoid penalties or gaps in employee protection.
The Right Partner at the Right Time
S&N was referred to Feury Image Group after wear testing and choosing Bulwark FR garments. With the decision made to move from rental to direct purchase, Feury Image Group became responsible for creating a functional and efficient program using the chosen products. The priority now shifted to precise execution—aligning fittings, inventory, delivery, and timing to support a clean transition that would never leave their people exposed. The results were immediate and pain-free.
Across industries, some companies remain tethered to their rental provider, reluctant to leave due to contract commitments, unclear exit requirements, and the risk of disrupting safety, compliance, and employee protection.
For S & N, moving to a direct-purchase FR program was about more than cost savings, though they proved significant. It was also about control, choice, and making sure their crews never missed a step or a shift during the transition.
S & N sought a smarter alternative to uniform rental—one that offered better garment options, predictable costs, and zero interruption to employee safety. Feury Image Group delivered all that and more with a direct-purchase FR program designed to transition seamlessly, ensuring every employee stayed protected from day one.
The result was a changeover that employees never felt.
