Dickies the internationally renowned
workwear brand is giving away six
pairs of safety boots.
Dickies, the internationally
renowned workwear brand,
has introduced 14 new
styles of safety footwear
and improved a further six
styles for 2014.
New lines in PU/Rubber Sole have
excellent shock absorption and are heat
resistant to 300 degrees; they are high
slip resistant and have non clogging sole
patterns; extra comfort is offered with
moisture wicking lining and a removable
footbed.
Safety footwear standard EN345 has
been superseded by EN ISO 20345 and the
whole Dickies footwear range has been
re-certified to the new standard EN ISO
20345:2011.
Over the past couple of years the main
trend has been for safety footwear to
become lighter in weight and more
fashionable, which really started with
the use of injected PU sole units. The
introduction of composite toecaps and
composite material mid-plates has
accelerated this demand. Other market
requirements which we have noticed are
the need for the upper profile of safety
footwear to be lower. The problem with
the design of safety footwear is that these
styles need a toecap, which creates a more
rounded shape to the upper, but the trend
nowadays is for safety footwear to look
less like an item of safety footwear. Part of
the solution is to reduce the shape of the
upper profile by applying it lower into the
sole unit. This allows for a lower profile
footwear style.
Dickies supply a wide range of industrial
workwear, safety clothing and equipment,
including protective hats, gloves,
kneepads, overalls, and jackets as well as
a wide range of footwear and traditional
work clothes. You can be assured you
are in safe hands with Dickies industry
strength products.

Roaring into MACH!
As excitement mounts for MACH 2014
the latest news is that World land speed
record holder and Project Director for
the Bloodhound Supersonic Car (SSC)
Richard Noble OBE (pictured) will be on
the start line to open the Exhibition.
Bloodhound has long been on the floor
plan but the announcement that Richard
will be opening the event is great news.
Many MACH Exhibitors are involved
with the Bloodhound SSC project and
MACH 2014 is the third time that the team
themselves will be at the Show.

Graham Dewhurst, Director General
of the MTA which owns and runs
MACH 2014, said: “MACH 2014 and
Bloodhound are obvious partners.
MACH 2014 is the only place to see
the full scope of the UK’s advanced
engineering supply chain all in one place
from household name OEMs (original
equipment manufacturers) such as
Rolls Royce and Airbus, through to the
companies that make the machine tools
with which manufacturing begins.
“Education and training is an ever
more important part of what MACH
is about and Bloodhound is uniquely
placed to enthuse young people about
an engineering career. The project is a
mainstay of our Education and Training
Zone and is always very popular. We’re
delighted that Richard has agreed to
open the Exhibition and give our visitors
an insight into what it’s like not just to go
faster than the speed of sound but to put
together one of this generation’s most
inspiring engineering projects.”
Richard Noble OBE said:
“MACH 2014 is a showcase of the very
best from the world of engineering, it
enables all parts of the supply chain
to come together, share ideas and
demonstrate what can be achieved here
in the UK.
“The event also provides a great
opportunity for the next generation of
engineers to find out more about the
industry and the opportunities available
to them.
It’
