A family run business founded in 2000 by Belinda and Michael Bright, BBwear develop and produce a range of British made protective clothing for beekeepers. 

Incorporating a critical level of research, production and quality control with the reigniting ethos of locally produced British garments, BBwear have grown to be regarded as a market leader by customers and retailers alike. 

As the interest in beekeeping and conservation continues to grow, BBwear have opened a shop selling their clothing and beekeeping equipment, and they now want to introduce themselves formally to the pest control market at PestEx.

James Bright, Sales Director at BBwear, commented:

“We’re really looking forward to taking our first major step into the pest control market at PestEx, having been making our clothing for the beekeeping market for 22 years.

“We’re hoping to get the BBwear name out there as THE brand to wear when it comes to dealing with bees, wasps and hornets.

“The best protection on the market and made from our unique fabric, not one but TWO of our Ultra Suits worth £399.99 will be up for grabs at PestEx: one on our own stand and one in the BPCA competition - a fantastic chance to get your hands on one for FREE!”

The BBwear competition will have attendees guessing how many holes are in a large piece of ventilated BBwear fabric on display at their stand. Entrants will even be asked to try a suit on, so that BBwear will know what size they are if they win.

James continued, “We’re looking forward to seeing you all there on 16 and 17 March, so come visit stand 49 and say hi!”
