Suppliers Showcase: Portwest

Supplier Showcase: Portwest – workwear that helps your team weather the British weather while they work

Taking care of employees is as important as taking care of your work environment – and when the weather gets tough, that means providing great workwear and protective equipment.

In this edition of Supplier Showcase, we’re shining a light on Portwest, a global leader specialising in flame-resistant and high-visibility workwear, hand and foot protection, PPE and wearable technology. They have more than a century of experience in their industry and were an easy choice of supplier to give our customers what their workforce needs to stay warm, comfortable and safe – even when the weather starts to close in.

Portwest: Safety from Head to Toe

Portwest’s dedication to safety is clear, offering a comprehensive range of high-quality protective work gear and PPE that meets industry standards. Their extensive collection covers everything from safety helmets and cut-resistant gloves to waterproof boots. They have products to safeguard workers in a wide variety of hazardous conditions, as well as day to day activities.

Whether you have teams working inside or outside, in factory production or on a cold and windy construction site, Portwest’s gear provides the reliable protection needed to keep workers safe on the job.

Winter Protection for Outdoor Workers

As we head into winter, it’s more important than ever for outdoor workers to have the right gear. In the UK, the winter season ❄ can bring not just chilly temperatures, but bitter wind and generally soggy and uncomfortable conditions. Comfort matters if you don’t want your people distracted and miserable.

It’s also about safety, of course, driving rain, icy surfaces and heavy winds can create some pretty dangerous working conditions.

Here, Portwest’s expertise really shines. Their range of thermal jackets, base layers, cosy socks and insulated gloves are designed to help workers retain body heat, while their waterproof boots and weather-resistant outerwear ensure workers stay dry even in the worst of British winter (or spring, summer and autumn) weather.

Portwest’s thermal clothing and insulated footwear are perfect for workers who work in unpredictable meteorological conditions. Coupling base layers to maintain core warmth with durable and waterproof outer layers that prevent the worst of the wind and rain helps your outdoor workers stay safe, warm, and focused on their work!

Why Choose Portwest?

We trust Portwest because of their commitment to quality and safety. Their range of PPE not only meets strict safety standards but also offers the practicality and comfort workers need. Whether it’s helmets, hi-vis vests, thermal layers or waterproof boots, Portwest has your team covered from head to toe.

We also love the fact that an increasing number of products have sustainability factors built in – so we featured them in our recent Sustainability brochure!

As we publish this, we’re feeling the first real winter blasts at Avanti HQ. Although we’re safely tucked up in our offices most of the time, we know that if we were working outside we’d want to be fully equipped.

This winter, make a commitment to keep your team dryer and safer than ever before. Explore our Portwest range on our website, including their winter protection gear, and help your team brave the elements with confidence.
