Why is Heskins called Heskins?
We are called Heskins because, in 1997, our founder wanted a company name that didn’t appear in any European language, avoiding confusion with existing businesses and ensuring the domain name was available. At the time, they lived in Charnock Richard in the North West of England, near a village called Heskin. By simply adding an “s”, the new name “Heskins” was created.
OUR HISTORY
Since our establishment in 1997 Heskins has grown to become the world’s foremost choice for abrasive safety tape, supplying our product to every continent and offer from our site next day delivery solutions to many countries. The reason for our success is our specialisation; we solely make and sell our own materials; the self-adhesive abrasive safety tape, we aim to provide an honest, competitive and effective solution to the problem.
April 1997
Established in a back bedroom in a rented house in Charnock Richard, we used a company that no longer exists in Manchester to subcontract manufacture for us.
1998
The company subcontract manufacturer closed, we purchased machinery from them. Storage and production was in an old stables that was demolished many years ago to form a restaurant in Chorley. Our website was launched, we are proud of being a pioneer of using the web.
