Founded in 1801, Bristol Uniforms has been designing and manufacturing industrial clothing for over 200 years and was the first UK manufacturer to develop specially designed protective clothing for firefighters in the early 1960s.
As part of the process of providing an integrated and comprehensive service to its customers, Bristol Uniforms is a leading advocate of an initiative to provide fire and rescue services with an external and universally consistent lifetime care service for PPE. Bristol Care™, introduced in 2000, is Bristol Uniforms' flexible PPE management solutions package which tailors the service provided to the specific needs of individual fire services.
Developed and delivered entirely through in-house resources set up for the purpose, Bristol Care™ combines its resident skills and experience with a sophisticated IT recording and tracking capability to provide for the lifetime monitoring, care, maintenance and repair of individual garments.
Using its own dedicated vehicles to collect and deliver garments for both routine inspection and service as well as one-off inspection, washing, decontamination and repair, Bristol Care™ provides the fire service with the most flexible access to equipment and service acquisition, care, tracking and logistics support.
