Don’t scramble at the last minute – make sure you get your orders in on time!
Delivering to over 200 local authorities every month, SMI ensure your people are protected and comfortable.
The Public services sector encompasses all local and central government and their agencies, such as local authorities, highways and utilities, health and social care, education, police and fire services, and the armed forces. The sector employs nearly five million workers in Great Britain, in addition to many others employed under contracted services.
Due to the wide scope of this sector, workers undertake a vast array of challenging tasks, from waste collection to street repairs to grounds maintenance, and more. Our comprehensive range of workwear and safety supplies has been refined and enhanced in collaboration with our Public Sector partners to ensure it fully meets the diverse safety and comfort needs of their staff.
From clothing and PPE through to consumables and tools, SMI has been protecting the Public sector for over 20 years.
STOCKING BRANDS THAT DELIVER
As a member of the British Safety Industry Federation (BSIF) and their Registered Safety Supplier Scheme, we've signed a binding declaration that the safety equipment we supply meets appropriate standards, fully complies with the PPE regulations, and is CE/UKCA marked. This provides our commitment to going beyond the basic requirements of product testing.
We also employ dedicated staff to manage our accreditations, ensuring our compliance with these standards is carried out and maintained throughout our organisation.
Partnering with SMI gives you and your team access to one of the most advanced PPE and workwear management systems in the industry. The system is intuitive, user-friendly and specifically designed according to the needs and feedback of our customers.
Features include order approval processes, reporting, management capabilities, wearer packs, favourite products, multiple orders per basket, and more!
