General information

Portwest makes and supplies personal protective equipment and workwear. Its range covers clothing, footwear, gloves and other PPE, sold to safety distributors and retailers around the world through 14 global warehouses. The company employs about 5,100 people in more than 130 countries and is based in Westport, Ireland.

Portwest started in 1904 as a small shop in Westport and is still owned by the Hughes family today, through the Hughes Group. That kind of long family ownership often means steadier, less short-term-driven decisions than at a typical corporate PPE supplier.

Currently, there's a total of 30 job openings at Portwest. Over the last 30 days, 11 jobs were added and 12 were removed (job postings usually stay up ~41 days before being removed).1
