| Agustina Parrilla and Rosario Martínez, with more than 18 years of experience in the sector, have launched this business with the help of the Entrepreneurial Generation program of the ADLE | Uniforms for hospitality, health, education and any job can be found at Worktime, a new business of workwear and personal protective equipment (PPE) that has recently opened on Paseo Alfonso XIII in Cartagena, with the advice and encouragement of the Agency for Local Development and Employment (ADLE) of the Cartagena City Council.Agustina Parrilla and Rosario Martínez, with more than 18 years of experience in the sector, have decided to start this business after the closure of their previous company.

"We were a bit hesitant about the pandemic, but by taking the ADLE entrepreneurs course we regained the strength that we lacked to continue with the project."The ADLE, through its Entrepreneurial Generation program, has provided Agustina and Rosario with the information and tools necessary to create their own business.

One of the objectives of this program is to contribute to the growth and consolidation of local companies, through education, tutoring and training of entrepreneurs.

The program has allowed the founders of Worktime "to make a business plan, know the viability of the project, and have the last push to decide to open," explained Rosario Martínez.Sales are totally different due to the pandemic generated by the coronavirus, the hospitality industry demands fewer uniforms when standing still, however, in schools more and more PPE and different gowns are demanded, both for infant students, as well as teachers and laboratory tasks.

"The uniform was implemented a few years ago, but it is true that with COVID there is another style of sales, now more masks and disposable garments are demanded," Agustina Parrilla pointed out.In addition, Worktime makes it possible to customize uniforms and personal protective equipment with the colors and brand of each company, which offers a stronger corporate image of the business that purchases its products.
