Staying Safe
Staying Safe…… that’s
exactly what a Torbay company has been doing for the past 25 years and it is now
celebrating the anniversary with record orders, new markets and a hugely
successful website.
DS Safety was
launched back in 1982 to supply safety footwear and has grown so much it is now
recognised as one of the leading on-line specialist firms in the country selling
just about everything that offers personal protection. It’s customers include
local authorities, hospitals, construction companies, educational establishment
and general tradesmen.
These days its catalogue of
safety boots has increased from just a
handful to over 100 different styles that protect the toes, soles and even the
metatarsal. To complement the protective equipment there is a comprehensive
range of
high visibility clothing and
work wear along with other safety
equipment and clothing that protect every part of the body..
Safety brands stocked include Caterpillar,
Timberland and Dr Martens and there’s a range of non slip and corporate
footwear.
A full e-commerce website has helped to
generate a huge increase in orders and enabled DS Safety to achieve record sales
during its 25th anniversary year.
Managing director Philip Nixon explained:
“There has been a big increase in the south west and achieved sales have
exceeded all expectations. With a promised delivery to any part of the UK
mainland, the site has also attracted numerous orders from the Scottish
Highlands down to the tip of Cornwall.”
Mr Nixon said the increased business had
helped the company open accounts with major corporate companies as well as local
authorities, hospitals and schools.
“We are constantly monitoring and improving
our marketing strategy and website in order that we can cater for every need. To
meet new demands, we have just launched a new section that looks after the
catering industry offering a range of clothing for chefs and kitchen staff.
“We are very aware of safety rules and
regulations are introduced virtually every week and we try to pre-empt these by
obtaining products that we know will meet the strict criteria.”
The majority of orders arrive within 24
hours of customers placing an order although the company’s official aim is to
deliver within three to five working days. Orders over £69 are delivered free of
charge.
Anyone wishing to open an account can apply
on-line through the website or by telephoning 0845 094 1228.
