As the UK continues to host an increasing number of nationally significant and high-profile events, security and policing teams are under growing pressure to maintain safety, manage complex operational demands and respond quickly to emerging situations. Having the right PPE and operational equipment is essential for ensuring personnel remain protected, comfortable and prepared throughout every stage of an event.
There’s a moment every officer knows well.
That split second when the call comes in, the atmosphere shifts, and preparation becomes urgency. It’s in that moment; the scramble, the focus, the instinct; that the Defender System proves exactly why it was created.
Because protection shouldn’t slow you down.
It should move with you.
We were represented by Aimee Duclos (Head of Design & Production, Accessories & Clothing) and Zara Hale (Product Design & Development, Clothing & Accessories), who spent the day exploring the vast halls, meeting new suppliers, and gathering insights into the future of technical textiles.
When selecting leather gear for policing, prison work, or security operations, reliability isn’t optional, it’s essential. The right equipment must withstand daily stress, support operational readiness, and deliver long‑term value. At MLA Ltd., our in‑house leather team has spent decades refining the craft of operational leatherwork. Here’s what to look for when choosing gear that won’t let you down.
At MLA Ltd, we’ve been perfecting protective gloves for decades, delivering safety, durability, and comfort to professionals on the front line. As operational requirements evolve, so does our glove technology. We’ve recently upgraded two of our most popular gloves: the Defender D20 Public Order Glove and the Leather Uniform Duty Glove.
One of the biggest suppliers of police protective equipment in the UK, which is based at Allerthorpe Business Park, Pocklington, is turning its hand to couture fashion in a new venture with one of Yorkshire’s top designers.
