I would write to them, giving the date she left the company and naming the person the uniform was handed to. She should keep a copy of the letter and post the letter to them recorded delivery.
If she receives any further correspondence after that I would reply:
Dear Sir, I acknowledge receipt of your letter dated........, the contents of which I have noted and laughed at.

If the above does not work, the alleged debt is in any case statute barred as more than 6 years have passed since she handed back the uniform. This assumes she has not previously been approached about it.
This does not mean the debt has gone away, but that the creditor cannot enforce it by going to Court.
