About us
About us (it's more about you really)
When looking for workplace safety solutions, you’re always going to have two main priorities: safety and value for money. At SafetyBuyer, we understand that’s always going to be true, no matter the size of your business or organisation - and this is where we aim to help you.
Read on to find out a little bit more about who we are, what makes us tick, and what makes us that little bit different. Hopefully, this page might just be able to convey the warm smile and handshake you get from people who enjoy doing a good job, and regularly go the extra mile to build lasting relationships.
Our history
SafetyBuyer was founded in 2012 by brothers Ian and Kevin Rowe, a pair of safety supply industry veterans who have spent a combined 40 years of their professional lives in warehouses, sales and marketing, production and purchasing. Taking a cue from some of the inspirational pros they’d worked with in the past, they decided to set up a safety supplies company of their own.
After investing more than 3,000 hours into building the site over a painstaking 18-month period, safetybuyer.com launched in July 2013. Almost immediately, we received our first small order for a batch of safety signs, and we were up and running.
Flash forward to now, and we’ve now done business with more than 65,000 customers, from small businesses to nationwide conglomerates. Our growth has remained healthy and hard-earned since 2013, but we’ve never forgotten where we came from - we still receive monthly orders from our very first customer, and that’s something we really value.
Our principles
We understand that we’re far from the only company supplying the workplace safety market, but what marks us out from the rest is our ongoing commitment to providing you with a flexible, reactive and personalised service - which means listening carefully to what our customers are telling us.
We simply call it “the TPR effect” - by treating people right, we provide all of our customers with the kind of confidence and trust in our brand that can’t be won with gimmicks and empty promises. There’s nothing too fancy about what we offer at SafetyBuyer - just an ever-growing lineup of safety products, backed up by a consistent, reliable and value-focused service.
