Portwest Workwear

tive Workwear

Based on the Westport of Ireland, Portwest clothing has grown over the years to be one of the leading suppliers and manufacturers of workwear worldwide – and indeed one of the most popular workwear brands we stock at Active. 

Specialising in protective clothing and staff uniforms, Portwest designs cover hi-vis clothing, safety footwear, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), flame retardant coveralls, and much more. 

Some of our most popular pieces include the: 

Portwest jacket, in particular, the contrast traffic jacket.  With two contrasting colours to make wearers more visible, this jacket is also suitable for all weather conditions. 

Portwest boots are another firm favourite due to the range and availability.  From steel toe caps to fleece-lined trainers and waterproof safety boots, with Portwest, the choice is vast. 

Portwest trousers have always been a popular choice not only due to their extensive range but also due to their affordable prices. 

A family affair 

A global business with roots firmly in Westport, Ireland.  Portwest first established its brand back in 1904 when Portwest's owner Charles Hughes opened its first-ever retail shop.  Mr. Hughes's nephew later joined the company and kept the business going until his retirement in 1988. 

Proud of its heritage and its background, Portwest grew over the years as a successful wholesale distribution business alongside Westport clothing, now more popularly known as Portwest. 

Expanding from selling drapery and footwear to today standing proud as a multi-million-pound business and a global leader in PPE and safety workwear. 

Establishing itself as a household name, Portwest is more than well known in the workwear, gloves, fire safety clothing, full protection industries, and more. 

No small fish 

Portwest is still today, managed by the Hughes family alongside their other strong, thriving businesses and groups. 

They are the largest serving manufacturer and wholesale supplier of protective workwear in the world! 

 

Suitable for wearers in factories, railways, power plants, construction sites, oil platforms, lorries, laboratories, farms, manufacturing plants, and more.
