Fit Brands is an established company with 17 years' experience in the sports specialty sector. We're

launching an exciting new division dedicated to custom technical sports garments, and we're

investing in state-of-the-art dye sublimation printing technology — including a brand-new, specialist

sock printing machine — to lead this expansion. This is a rare opportunity to join a start-up division

within a proven, stable business, with genuine scope for growth as the division scales.

The Role

We're looking for a hands-on, self-motivated individual to operate our new sock printing machine and

support the wider technical garment printing process. You'll play a key part in establishing this new

division, helping us deliver high-quality, custom-printed technical sportswear to our customers.

Key Responsibilities

• Operate and maintain the state-of-the-art sock printing machine

• Manage the dye sublimation printing process from design through to finished garment

• Ensure consistent print quality and colour accuracy across production runs

• Support the setup and day-to-day running of a new division within the business

• Manage stock, materials and consumables related to the printing process

• Maintain a clean, organised, and efficient working environment

• Troubleshoot printing issues and carry out routine equipment checks

• Collaborate with the wider team as the division grows

What We're Looking For

• Experience with dye sublimation printing (essential/highly desirable)

• A hard-working, reliable, and self-motivated approach

• Strong organisational skills and attention to detail

• Flexibility with working hours

• Comfortable working independently and taking ownership of tasks

• An interest in sportswear, technical garments, or textile production is a plus

• Willingness to grow with the role as the division expands to full-time

What We Offer

• The chance to be part of a brand-new division from the ground up

• Genuine progression from part-time to full-time as the business grows

• The backing and stability of an established, 17-year sports specialty business

• A dynamic, evolving role with room to shape processes and grow your skillset
