Young Enterprise Company Creates Hivis Clothing For Dogs!

When it comes to hivis clothing, you tend to usually think of children going to school, lollipop ladies and construction site workers. Your mind probably wouldn’t turn to cute fluffy dogs at first.

But this looks set to change thanks to a group of teenagers from Belfast who, as part of their Young Enterprise Company venture at school, have recycled lots of old material to help make dogs safer when they’re out and about near roads, the Belfast Telegraph reports.

The group of nine dog lovers (who attend Bloomfield Collegiate School) set up Hi Vis Hounds and started making lots of brightly coloured bandanas. Pupil Maeve Hollywood said: “Every year, thousands of dogs are killed on our roads. Hi Vis Hounds was borne out of a group of like-minded pupils who decided to get together to help tackle this problem and, in turn, help the environment.”

The idea could even be adopted by tradesmen who work for themselves. How often do you see someone doing work on someone’s house with their little Jack Russell sitting in the van, waiting patiently? Safety on building sites is paramount, so having a little high vis jacket for your pooch might be a good idea if you take him or her to work with you on a regular basis!

Of course, if you’re looking for clothes for people rather than pups, give us at The Site Supply Co a call. We’ll be able to kit you and your team out in no time at all.
