At Hainsworth we have been developing protective fabrics for the emergency services since the 1800s, when we first provided the London Fire Brigade with their wool melton uniform cloth. Since then, we have been combining the innate protective qualities of wool with the latest high-strength cutting-edge fibres to create fabrics that lead the market in flame resistance, durability, and comfort. We have also been ensuring that we stay informed about the concerns and requirements of firefighters -whether this be through our participation on industry standards boards, or from simply visiting fire stations around the country and listening to people. We seek to understand what firefighters want from their PPE, what challenges they are facing on the job, and any areas where they feel protection could be improved. It is crucial that we centre these concerns and feedback when developing new fabrics. We are dedicated to firefighter safety - to protecting them from not only heat stress but from the many other risks that they face every day. It is only through understanding this that we can deliver effective products that help them to do their jobs successfully.
