Hi-Visibility working…in all conditions

The exclusive new Pulsarneon® range from Praybourne is now available through Consumables Solutions. This innovative light system range builds on Praybournes existing comprehensive of hi-visibility clothing.

The Pulsarneon® award winning light system is attached to the front and back of the garment, which when activated produces electro-luminscent lighting. The light system has an option to flash or stay continually bright, making Pulsarneon® garments capable of providing up to 5 times the protection of passive hi-visibility clothing. This can be visible up to 1000m even in complete darkness! This self-contained active system requires no external light source for illumination, increasing safety in the most hazardous and remote working environments.

The system has been an instant success, already in use by many customers. One such company is Lafarge, one of Britain’s top five construction companies. Steve Young, Health Safety & Environmental Advisor at Lafarge explains, “…the greatest problem for construction workers working in dark or dim conditions is lack of conspicuity. We trialled many different options, and Pulsarneon® garments provided the ideal solution. They are easy to wear, easy to operate, they are robust enough to withstand the environment and are cost effective. Ultimately they have improved the conspicuity and safety of the site staff”. Lafarge have made the use of Pulsarneon® garments a site requirement, for employees, sub contractors and suppliers.

The range covers all hi-visibility clothing requirements:

• Waterproof Storm Coats & Jackets (Standard, 2 Tone & 3 Tone)
• Waterproof Bomber Jackets
• Lightweight Polyester Waistcoats

The Pulsarneon® range is available alongside the comprehensive Praybourne Hi-visibility range through Consumables Solutions, part of their complete solution covering all PPE/Protective Clothing, Hygiene/Janitorial and Health & Safety products.

Industrial consumables have just got interesting. Well, they certainly have for our customers. Our research shows an average time of 129 minutes* from the start of raising a purchase order to the end – from order to invoice. An average total cost of £60**. With an average of 1500 purchase orders per month, that adds up to a yearly administration cost of £45,000, or a 25% additional cost to the actual product cost.

But consumables are low interest – except when you look at the costs. A diverse product range, stocking products, managing health & safety requirements, allocating spend. That’s why we provide the total solution – that’s customised for every customer.

But there are three things all of our customers have in common – significant savings , maximum efficiency, minimum hassle. On average:

our Managed Solutions customers eliminate the need for purchasing to raise an average 2,000 orders per year through using us

we also eliminate the need for the warehouse to receive, handle, stock and deliver over 10,000 products per year

we even eliminate the need for finance to deal with hundreds of invoices from dozens of suppliers
