What we supply

Spec it once. Get it everywhere.

One approved product list, one price, one standard of compliance, whatever the site and whichever route you order through. Supplied by seven specialist companies from ten UK service centres.

The range

Head to toe, and the site around it.

PPE, workwear, footwear, fall protection and site supplies, chosen against the standard the job needs rather than the cheapest line that fits the description. Own-brand where it earns its place, the big names where they do.

  • Head protection

    Safety helmets, bump caps, visors and hearing protection for construction, utilities and industry. Helmets for working at height with chin straps, lamp brackets and visor systems that fit as a set, not as an afterthought.

  • Eye and face protection

    Safety spectacles, goggles, face shields and welding protection. Prescription safety eyewear for colleagues who wear glasses, so they get protection that fits rather than over-specs that fog.

Around the product

The work that stops PPE being a problem.

Most PPE issues are not product failures. They are the wrong spec on one site, a fit test nobody logged, or a new starter waiting a fortnight for branded kit. This is what we do about that.

  • Specification

    We agree an approved product list with your health and safety lead, trial anything that is changing with the people who will wear it, and lock it so the spec cannot drift site by site.

  • Head-to-toe kits by job role

    Pre-built kits for the roles on your sites, from groundworker to linesman, so onboarding is one order, not fifteen.

  • Face fit testing

    On your site or ours, by qualified testers, with the certificate on file against the wearer.

  • Branding

    Embroidery, heat seal and print in-house. Logos applied before dispatch, so a new starter's kit arrives finished.

  • Vending and on-site stores

    Stock on your site, issued against a wearer or cost centre, with usage reported back to you.

  • Ordering your way

    Punchout and EDI into your procurement system, online account, quick order by code, or your account manager. Same price through every route.

  • Declarations of conformity

    On file for everything we sell. Ask and we send them, or download them from your account.

  • PPE recycling

    Collections of used PPE routed into recycled fibre or reuse rather than disposal, with the kilograms reported back.
