COMFORT FIRST The effects of unsuitable footwear in the workplace can range from sinking morale through to creating hazards.
TOURISM STARS SHINE BRIGHTLY
King George’s Hall in Blackburn played host to a special evening dedicated to celebrating the stars of the Lancashire tourism and hospitality sector.
The Lancashire Tourism Awards 2023 featured guest presenter John “Gilly” Gilmore, a radio broadcaster of more than 30 years who himself won the title of Tourism Superstar at the 2015 event.
Vikki Harris, marketing and partnerships director of Marketing Lancashire, opened the event.
Addressing the audience she shared the news of the county’s LVEP (Local Visitor Economy Partnership) status that places “the Lancashire pin firmly in the national tourism map”.
She added: “It is businesses like yours, the very best in the Lancashire, that can help us to do this by continuing to provide exceptional and distinctive experiences for your guests.”

There are several elements that make a wellington right (or wrong) for your workplace. Here’s what to look for when equipping your team:
Safety
Slip and trip hazards exist in almost all workplaces.
Ensuring regular cleaning of footwear is important, but not enough. Staff should wear footwear that is adapted to the conditions.
An angled sole design, for example, maximises a wellington’s grip on wet or greasy surfaces.
A flat, granular sole provides even greater slip resistance.
Comfort
Comfort must be a key consideration in industries where the footwear is worn for eight-hour shifts. This often comes down to the weight of the boot, the materials it’s made from, and the design. Polyurethane is a lightweight material perfectly suited for use in food industry wellingtons.
It can be difficult to tell which boot will do the trick when browsing a catalogue, which is why we offer wearer trials before you commit to a purchase.
Safety standards
Look for EN ISO 20345 certification to make sure your footwear meets the requirements of your industry.
And make note of the additional ratings to understand which situations a product is suitable for, and what protection it provides.
