Celebrating 49 years of excellence at Enfield Safety

As we mark the 49th anniversary of Enfield Safety, we celebrate nearly five decades of dedication, innovation, and expansion. We started our journey with a focus on safety and excellence. It has been marked by continuous change and commitment.

Enfield Safety has had three generations shape our heritage, adding new ideas while staying true to our core values:

• Customer-centric: we always act with our customers’ best interest at heart.
• Accountable: we do what we say we will and take personal responsibility for our work
• Responsive: we listen to what people want, then act quickly and decisively to deliver.
• Enterprising: we’re always open to innovation, new ideas and better ways of working. 

It all started with Hand Protection 

Enfield Safety was originally founded on the selling of one pair of high-performance protective work gloves. The second product venture came with the expansion into the custom safety signage market which was welcomed by existing clients. 

Today, we offer an extensive range of high-quality and durable personal protective equipment (PPE), tailored height safety training and height safety equipment, temporary fire protection systems and sustainable signage solutions. Our main focus is on the construction industry, however, we do offer supplies for a variety of industries including rail, security, quarry, warehouse, agriculture and more.

Some of our best-selling items over the years have been:
