ARCO, the UK's leading safety clothing supplier, organised an open day for companies in Kent as a celebration after moving to bigger offices in Orpington.

The firm treated Kent-based companies to a tour of the building and a free seminar with advice on risk assessment and complying with new legislation. The day finished with a summer barbecue.

Brian Turrell, Arco's branch manager, said: "We have invested £3million to improve all aspects of our customer service.

"This open day gave companies the opportunity to attend the seminar and enjoy product demonstrations."

ARCO has 21 branches across the country and supports every sector of UK industry.
