23 Years In… And You’ve Probably Never Heard of Us

We’ve been around for 23 years.
That’s 23 years of grit, graft, and getting things done.

But it didn’t start with a warehouse, a team, or a reputation.
It started in a 2x2 metre office above Five Ways roundabout in Birmingham. Just one desk, a phone, and a determination to do things properly.

No investors. No hype.
Just a clear goal.. build something solid, serve people well, and let the work speak for itself.

And that’s exactly what we’ve done.

Today, Speed One Sports is one of the UK’s most trusted names in custom sportswear, teamwear, and fulfillment.
Quietly powering thousands of teams, schools, clubs, and businesses behind the scenes.

We’ve partnered with some of the most iconic brands in global sport, the likes of  Adidas, and Mizuno,  delivering consistently across years of trusted relationships.

We’ve:

• Worked with national teams like England Rugby, Fiji, Samoa, Romania, and USA for the Rugby World Cup
  
  
• Delivered last-minute kit for New Zealand’s Commonwealth Games team
  
  
• Supported with the supply of kit for three British & Irish Lions tours
  
  
• Supported countless schools, colleges, and community clubs along the way
  
  

You’ll find some of our work with:

• Leicester Tigers DPP, Stourbridge RFC, Old Halesonians RFC, City of Birmingham Gymnastics
  
  
• Bloxham School, Denstone College, Sandwell College, South and City College
  
  
• Aston University, Birmingham City University, University of Birmingham
  
  

And when the pandemic hit? We didn’t fold. We adapted.

While others went quiet, we doubled down — offering short-run production, local delivery, and practical fulfilment to help our clients stay visible and supported.

No big reinvention story. Just survival through service.

That’s always been our approach:
Stay human. Stay helpful. Stay moving.

“We’ve never just sold kit. We’ve built relationships. This is more than a business — it’s part of the fabric of the communities we serve. And we’re just getting started.”
— Tony Di Ponio, Founder & Managing Director

What’s Next?

Now, we’re stepping things up.
We’re evolving — without losing the roots that built us.

• Our print-on-demand sportswear service is expanding, giving brands, clubs, and creators a fast, flexible way to launch gear without over-ordering
  
  
• Our white-label fulfilment offering is helping partners grow their own lines while we handle the logistics behind the curtain
  
  
• We’re finally telling our story — because 23 years of underground hustle deserves the spotlight
  
  

We’re also laying the groundwork for something bigger. Our 25-year milestone is just around the corner.

Expect special editions, throwbacks, community campaigns, and a renewed commitment to what we do best: helping others look good, feel proud, and get kitted out right.

Whether you’re a:

• Business 
• Sports club
• School
• University
• Brand looking for a UK-based teamwear supplier
  
  

We’re here.

From custom kit design to on-demand production to scalable fulfillment, Speed One Sports has your back.

You might not have heard of us before. But you’ll be seeing a lot more from us soon.

Here’s to 23 years. And the road to 25.
