J&K Ross Secures Five-Year PPE Contract with Northern Powergrid

Warrington-based family business J&K Ross has secured a prestigious five-year contract to supply Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) to Northern Powergrid following a successful tender process.

Northern Powergrid oversees the electricity network for over 8 million people across 3.9 million homes and businesses in the North East, Yorkshire, and northern Lincolnshire.

The contract will ensure that Northern Powergrid’s team is equipped with high-quality PPE, including flame retardant high-visibility vests, workwear, safety boots and shoes, helmets, ear defenders, and safety spectacles.

This new contract complements an existing agreement covering arc flash protective clothing, which J&K Ross has supplied since 2012. The continuation and expansion of their partnership underscore the trust and reliability that Northern Powergrid places in J&K Ross’s products and services.

Chris Ross, Chairman of J&K Ross and account manager for Northern Powergrid, expressed his pride in the achievement. He said: “This win is a direct result of a magnificent effort by our highly skilled team. It is another example of our family-owned business punching above its weight in a competitive market including large national companies. We are truly delighted.”
The contract will enhance safety and operational efficiency for Northern Powergrid, ensuring their workforce is well-protected as they maintain and develop the essential infrastructure that powers everyday life across the region.
J&K Ross provides a comprehensive range of personal protective equipment, safety wear and branded corporate wear to ensure the protection and wellbeing of workers across many different industries. From high visibility jackets, vests and safety footwear to goggles, gloves, branded tabards, polo shirts and workwear.

At their retail store in Kerfoot Street, Warrington and online they stock leading brands including DeWalt, Leo Workwear and Rockfall.
