Pretty sure if you don't have any then they provide them. That's what I was told on the phone and it's what it says on the Angard website.

Is that the sorting office where he works?
They can't expect us to buy a pair when were not guaranteed to have a job when we get there. Even with the calls/email/texts people are getting turned away.

I won't be buying any personally. Going on what I was told over the phone and the email I received. There are so many problems addressed with Angard atm that the chances of getting the job, along with the hours for the length of time you were given is so small that it's not worth it imo. Not to mention that most xmas casuals haven't even been paid yet..

Edit: Got through... Then was told to call the number again and press option 1 for the Christmas team... Which I just did. and the Christmas team originally gave me the number to call.
