A great success for our company.

VestGuard has grown from strength to strength in the defence sector and today operates a team of highly efficient individuals with specialist knowledge in the industry. The VestGuard brand continues to expand and products continue to advance aesthetically, ergonomically and in their ballistic performance-to-weight capabilities.

Over the last 20 years VestGuard has been the leading body armour supplier to UK and international government, law enforcement and military agencies. By the time the Iraq and Afghan wars began, VestGuard was at the forefront of the body armour industry. Supporting many government and civilian contractors travelling to these countries, the company quickly caught the attention of a number of other clientele and the company’s products enveloped the market.

The company rose to the challenge when the contract to supply the entire Afghan National Army and Police Force was awarded to VestGuard UK. Beating 600 other companies, VestGuard supplied all 160,000 units to Afghanistan without any delays or problems in a contract worth over USD $100Million. This is the largest contract of its kind to be won by a British company.

Professional Advice

Our team of trained staff have years of experience dealing with defence products and supplying to civilian, government and military clients all over the world. Our advice is clear and detailed and we will always assist with any enquiry, no matter how big or small the requirement. You can be assured the information and the products we supply are accurate and will provide the protection required for your personal safety.

Ongoing Product Checks

As part of our service, VestGuard is in the unique position to offer assessment checks during the life of body armour and helmets. Whether the vest is ours or from another company, we are happy to provide an unbiased, professional opinion based on a set of detailed checks we undertake on the armour. For a small charge this service continues to ensure your armour is fit for purpose. In the same way that neglecting services on your car could be dangerous, neglecting services on your personal protection can be equally as fatal.  Speak to one of our team if you would like further information regarding this service.

Export License Applications

To meet some UK laws, we may be required to obtain a license in order to export some of our goods to our international customers. The service to obtain these licenses is provided free of charge. On some occasions it may be more suitable for the buyer to apply directly for a license, which we will advise on this prior to sale.

Recycling

To do our part to help the environment and also protect those who may be unaware of the dangers of second hand body armour, VestGuard offers all our customers the opportunity to return armour to be recycled. Under the agreement, armour returned is subjected to checks. Any suitable armour or covers which offer no bullet protection but remain able to protect against explosions are constructed into aprons and donated free of charge to non profiting demining missions, helping to protect lives. The remaining armour is broken down into raw component parts and supplied to a variety of industries to become a part of vehicle tyres, roads and reinforce other areas of key infrastructure. Our aim is to prevent armour from ending up on the second hand market and potentially causing death to the wearer. The fibres used naturally deteriorate over time and use, and years of use may leave the armour useless. This is indistinguishable to the normal user, thus presenting the danger. 

Think differently. Think VestGuard.
