Expert Statements
Jim Jenkins, President and Chief Executive Officer of Lakeland Fire + Safety
“Law enforcement equipment is specified and trialed separately from the fire and rescue categories where most of our United Kingdom business sits today, and this award came through an open tender process.”
Jim Jenkins, President and Chief Executive Officer of Lakeland Fire + Safety
“Jolly Scarpe is known to European customers for protective professional footwear, and winning an upper-body public order with a national police service shows we can compete across categories with customers.”
Barry Phillips, Chief Revenue Officer of Lakeland Fire + Safety
“The United Kingdom has become one of our most active public sector markets, and police procurement demands the same requirements we already meet for fire services: certified products, documented trial performance, and the ability to hold pricing and lead times across a multi-year term.”
