After what seems like a long, warm summer, the autumn winter season is certainly now upon us as temperatures plummet and the dark nights draw in.
Changeable weather and a potentially dangerous working environment demands workwear that is not only warm, but offers the ultimate in protection for construction workers. The Glenwear collection of workwear and PPE provides the industry with a range that will do just that. 
Meeting or exceeding all European safety standards, Glenwear stands out as a brand that not only outperforms the competition on quality, but also on price.
Glenwear purchase director Simon Wright commented,
The Glenwear range provide trade merchants with a collection of trustworthy workwear and PPE products geared up to tackle the rigours of onsite construction work. Our reseller trade price structure also means that merchants can make considerable margins and still outcompete other leading brands on price. More expensive doesn't always mean better and the fact that Glenwear exceeds most if not all safety standards is testament to that.
With an extensive contractor collection covering high-vis clothing, boots, PPE and gloves, Glenwear is already becoming a firm favourite with trade merchants and their customers.
No more so than the Farnell safety boot, offering the highest protection attainable with its S3 EN safety rating. A steel toe-cap boot, the Farnell also offers electrical resistance of up to 1000 Mega Ohms, penetration resistance of 1100 Newtons, an energy absorbent heel and oil resistant outer shell, making this product an ideal boot for contractors of all trades.
With a strong trade-style shelf presence and a RRP of just 39.99, the Farnell safety boot is already a proven high volume seller, commanding a considerable 57% margin for resellers.
Four other safety boots complete the range, including the popular Forbes Rigger style boot. With exemplary safety features, all boots command RRPs of between 24.99 and 49.99, with very healthy margins of up to 60%.
Wright continues,
Glenwear products command a very strong retail presence. High-impact packaging, an excellent value proposition and optional attractive merchandisers, the brand is fast becoming highly sought after by trade merchants and contractors alike.
The Glenwear collection of workwear and PPE is exclusively available from wholesalers Stax Trade Centres and Wishart. For more information on Glenwear products visit www.glenwear.co.uk
