The UK Summer Bank Holiday is fast approaching, and for many, it offers the perfect chance to pause, recharge, and enjoy a long weekend before autumn sets in. At Heskins, we believe in working hard and playing hard, which is why we’ll be taking a short break on Monday 25th August.

Our factory and offices will be closed for the day, giving our team the opportunity to rest and return refreshed. Normal service will resume on Tuesday 26th August, when we’ll be back at full speed, ready to supply the world’s best anti-slip tapes, floor marking systems, and safety products to our customers.

Why Bank Holidays Matter

Bank Holidays aren’t just about a day off work; they’re a valuable chance to pause and reset. For our team, who spend their days manufacturing, packing, and shipping safety products, it’s an opportunity to recharge.

The timing couldn’t be better. The Summer Bank Holiday comes just before one of the busiest periods of the year. September brings new projects across construction, education, and logistics, and many of our customers use this time to prepare their sites for the months ahead. Taking this short break allows us to return ready to meet those demands head-on.

Supporting Our Customers

We know many of our customers work to strict schedules and safety deadlines. Whether you’re a contractor fitting anti-slip stair nosing before a handover, or a warehouse manager setting up new floor markings for staff, timing is everything.

That’s why we’re making sure all orders placed before the long weekend are processed and scheduled for dispatch as soon as we reopen. Our customer service team is also available in the run-up to the closure to answer questions and help plan deliveries around the Bank Holiday.

A Note of Thanks

This short pause is only possible because of the dedication of our staff and the continued support of our customers.

  • To our team, thank you for the hard work you put in every day – you’ve earned this break.

  • To our customers, thank you for your understanding and for trusting Heskins to supply your slip-prevention and safety solutions.

Preparing for the Season Ahead

Once the Bank Holiday is over, our attention will shift firmly towards the challenges that autumn brings. Wet weather, darker evenings, and increased activity across many industries mean safety products are more important than ever. Heskins is here to help with:

  • Anti-slip solutions for steps, ramps, and outdoor walkways.

  • PermaRoute and PermaStripe floor marking systems for busy warehouses.

  • Reflective and photoluminescent tapes for improved visibility in low-light conditions.

We’ll be fully stocked and ready to dispatch as soon as we’re back on Tuesday morning.

The upcoming Summer Bank Holiday is a welcome opportunity for our team to relax and recharge. We’ll be closed on Monday 25th August, reopening on Tuesday 26th August to get back to what we do best – supplying high-quality anti-slip and safety products to businesses across the UK and beyond.

We hope you enjoy the long weekend as much as we will, and we look forward to working with you again straight after the break.
