Aqua Safety Showers International

Janet is lapping up the Global Safety Shower Market

When it comes to the safety of workers out in the field Janet Waine is one of the experts having worked in the industry over 25 years.

Called Aqua Safety Showers International, Janet’s company is very clearly flying the flag not only for British manufacturing and exporting but also for women in what is still considered to be man’s world. Janet remains undaunted by the task in hand. Along with head of sales Jen Gerrard, and a comprehensive manufacturing facility based in Greater Manchester, she has already established her company across the UK, supplying most of the water utility companies with safety shower equipment. She is also growing a healthy business in the Middle East, having installed her own sales personnel on the ground, and is shipping out orders across Europe and Asia.

This year Janet is currently expanding her assembly line team and will shortly be welcoming her first apprentice. The company is also gradually building up a global distributor network.

“I have a very clear understanding of what the market requires when it comes to safety showers,” said Janet. “It isn’t just about the end product. You have to be able to recommend and advise operatives working in extreme conditions in the best safety shower solution to suit their worker’s needs. It is surprising how many people believe that a safety shower works on the concept of a domestic shower. And when we talk about extreme conditions, we are talking about ensuring safety showers operate in temperatures from plus 60 degrees centigrade down to minus 50 degrees centigrade. You then need to deliver the solution on time and on budget whilst also ensuring clear and constant communication. After that it is important to help customers with advice on installation and maintenance as a safety shower has to work first time every time.
