As a new member to the BFFF I thought it prudent to introduce Just 1 Source & Supply – a manufacturer and UK importer of Hand Protection. As our sole focus is Hand Protection Solutions we have built a team with over 75 years of experience within the industry, allowing us to be experts in innovation and finding the balance between quality and price.
Our history is steeped in prestige with one of our founders, Ron Simpson, being a key influencer in the Glove Industry and attributed with the original design of a rigger glove in the UK Market. Since then, we have developed and evolved into the Company & Brands we own and promote, including but not limited to; Planetsafe, Touchsafe, Mercator (Disposables), Predator & Watersafe.
Our Sole intention with regards to joining the BFFF is to add value & safety to members, and this is something me and my team are passionate about. With the UK & Ireland team covering every corner, we can be on site doing Safety Audits and Reviews of hand protection within 2 weeks of a request.
With a diverse but compact range, covering applications including Cold Handling, Food Safe Reusable Gloves, Touchscreen Cut Resistant Gloves, Premium Disposables and Vend Ready Solutions, I feel our products would benefit most members – in one way or another!
With the current weather looking to close in and the cold temperatures ever present within this industry, I thought it apt to do a small product focus as part of our initial introduction:
| Pred Alaska
Thermal Grip Glove, Contact Cold Level 1 – Breathable, Durable & Very Cost Effective
|
 |
| Pred Spruce
Thermal Grip Glove, Contact Cold Level 2 – Breathable, Cut Level D, rPET liner
|
 |
| Pred Baltic
Thermal Grip Glove, Contact Cold Level 2 – Waterproof, Cut Level B, Dual Lined
|
 |
| Pred Yukon
Thermal Grip Glove, Contact Cold Level 2 – Waterproof, Cut Level E, Cost Effective
|
 |
Although this isn’t every thermal product we offer, I believe this showcases a variety of options, which are well suited for the industry & time of year at point of publication.
Despite me and my team being Hand Protection Experts, I am a strong believer and advocator for End User Trials. The Tests on gloves are done in a systematic manner in a controlled environment, which although gives a level playing field, does allow some manufactures to manufacture to a standard, rather than for applications/real world. Something we at Just 1 Source & Supply do not condone. That is why we will happily supply FOC samples across our range, provided we receive constructive feedback (Good & Bad I want to hear!). This not only allows us to rectify any product issues but also gives us the opportunity to innovate and develop new solutions.
I would like to take this time to highlight our company website whereby you can find our E-Catalogue and Product Portfolio – www.just1source.com You can also request samples directly from the site!
If you would like to discuss hand protection, Glove Audits or Trials, then please contact myself and I will be more than happy to support:

I look forward to supporting the BFFF Members in the coming months & years, so please do utilise me and my team to improve protection, reduce costs & improve employee satisfaction.
