JBS traces its origins back to 1944, when James Boylan & Son made shoes in Mullan, Co. Monaghan. Since 2000 JBS has evolved from manufacturing to become one of the largest Irish suppliers of:

• Safety Clothing (PPE)
  

• Janitorial Goods
  

• Corporatewear
  

• Specialist Clothing (EMS)

By offering a comprehensive range of safety, hygiene and specialist supplies, JBS provides added value to customers. Added value arises through reduced product costs and reduced transaction costs.

This holistic approach has been so successful that JBS now offers one of the most comprehensive ranges of Safety, Workwear, Corporate wear Specialist EMS & Janitorial products available in the market place.

To reflect the success that has led us to become the fastest growing and one of the largest distributors in our sector. In 2000, James Boylan & Son Ltd changed its name to James Boylan Safety Ltd.

We at James Boylan Safety Ltd (JBS), make Excellent Customer Service our goal and therefore maintain a flexibility that allows us to identify the different requirements that exist from customer to customer and from sector to sector. This flexibility brings value to both our public and private sector customers alike irrespective of whether they buy product in single units or by the thousand.

JBS has in excess of 1,200 customers, which we service through a combination of our external sales force (7 Sales Reps) and our internal customer service people. This approach has been extremely successful for us and we can claim many firsts in the industry. A few of these are listed here:

• 1ST PPE supplier to be chosen as sole supplier to the Irish Government. This 3 year contract was awarded on foot of a European tender competition and was awarded on the grounds that our quote represented best overall value for money. Client departments include , An Garda Siochana, The Dept Of Defence, The Irish Prison Service, the Office of Public Works, Duchas, The Irish Coast Guard, The Revenue Commissioners, etc, etc, JBS ltd has successfully retained this contract for another 3 years, despite intense competition from all major players in the industry.
