News and press coverage
In this section of our website you will be able to keep up with developments, news and views not only from Bristol but also from the range of publications and other media which regularly picks up, and comments, on the company's activities.
Communicating news from around the world
As a global player in the manufacture and supply of personal protective garments and equipment for the world's emergency services, we are active both directly, and through appointed distributors, in over 110 countries around the word. This means that there is something newsworthy happening, somewhere, virtually all the time. We will use this news section to report on many of these developments whether in the UK or in our worldwide export markets. Some of this will be in the form of news releases and feature articles.
We will also bring you a selection of news coverage from UK and international publications, websites and other media in the fire, ambulance and police sectors of the emergency services. Where national, regional and local press has shown an interest in our activities, we will also bring you a selection of this coverage.
We invite you to revisit these pages regularly as news is updated frequently. Current news is listed chronologically on the main news page, whilst older news, features and articles are kept in an archive section which you are welcome to browse for past developments which may be of interest to you.
