New EU legislation spells success
While the debate over Europe continues, Greenham Trading said it is
benefiting from new European legislation.
In particular, sales of high visibility clothing have increased by
more than 50 per cent since the introduction of a new European
standard.
"We are selling around 16,000 British-made high visibility garments
every month; this includes a range of jackets, waistcoats and
trousers," explained Andrew Tedbury, Greenham Trading's marketing
manager.
"We have seen particularly strong growth from major road
contractors who need to ensure that their workforce remains safe
while working in potentially hazardous environments."
The EN471 Standard demands that people working in certain risk
environments such as highways have to wear work clothes which have
a specified level of reflective material on them.
