LION provides pivotal infrastructure supply solutions for Demanding Infrastructure Organisations working in high-risk environments outdoors. We work with infrastructure and utilities companies in the following sectors:

• Rail – track management, line maintenance

• Road – traffic management, road maintenance 

• Energy and Renewable – wind, hydro electricity, gas networks, pipe laying

• Public Sector – local authorities, governments

We are very focused on the type of client we support and do business with. We know we are not all things to all people, so we want to be the best supplier for the clients that are a good fit.

What products does LION provide?

LION can help with a variety of areas within industrial supplies, including; tools, site equipment, traffic management products, and PPE. 

As members of the BSIF (British Safety Industry Federation), we are committed to selling only Certified PPE and safety products and we meet all responsibilities of PPE Regulation (EU) 2016/425. As a federation member, you can always trust us to trade honestly and ethically in everything we do. 

LION provide vital protective workwear and equipment in these key categories:

• Head and Face PPE (Head Protection, Ear Protection, Eye Protection)

LION offer in-house branding services with embroidery and heat seal branding capacity. Branding is completely FREE.

All you have to do is confirm whether you want to brand, where you want it on the garments, and confirm a design. We look after the rest for you!

We always ensure the branding type is right for the products. For example, clients can ask for embroidery on a waterproof jacket – as we don’t suggest doing this (puncturing the outer layer can then lead to damaging the waterproof seal) we would not proceed with this and instead speak with the client about heat seal branding, which would not compromise the garment. 

We also like to ensure that our branding service keeps your products looking professional. If, for example, a client asks for a heat seal on a fleece, we would advise them against this for the simple reason being it doesn’t look smart due to the weight of the material of the fleece leading to the logos coming off.

What is the Branding Process

  1. Confirm which products require branding
  2. Send artwork to sales@lionsafety.co.uk. (This can be a jpeg image or a png.)
  3. LION design a mockup of the logo on the product and send you an image example to  confirm you are happy with it
  4. LION run a sample of the brand on a garment/fabric and send it to you for final approval.

Sometimes clients don’t wish to see a final sample and that’s ok too. We will get on with the branding job at your confirmation

  1. Once you have approved the sample/logo design, we brand up your order and deliver it

For customers who are ordering branded goods every week, LION commits to holding branded workwear on the shelf ready for next-day delivery. This is at no extra cost to you and is part of our service commitment. All we ask is that upon agreement if you ever move away from LION in the future, we agree that you will take the branded items that we have held in stock for you.

Services 

LION is not just a supplier of infrastructure supplies and consumables; we are offering you a different way of looking at these supplies and a buyer-optimised journey to purchasing it. 

Our ultimate goal is to drive safety and increase long-term savings from your safety equipment services.

Think of us almost as a safety project management aide. You can rely on us to help you navigate the buying journey and the red tape and legislative vernacular associated with safety workwear. LION can help with cohesion between multiple decision-makers (and their opinions) to find the right fit product that we can deliver on time, every time. 

Most importantly, you can count on us to help you find better safety for your people. Why? We want to help you protect your employees, and we want to do so by closing in on three areas: education, legislation, and team focus. 

Buying PPE and tools doesn’t have to be dull. It doesn’t have to be thumbing through yellow-pages-sized catalogues with jargon-heavy descriptions. It can be as simple as chatting with one of our subject matter experts.
