Denis Bramhall, Managing Partner of Unusual Rigging& Engineering, said: "We really believe in the quality of the Globestock range of products and recommend them to protect personnel when working at height, accessing confined space and where there is a risk of falling. This is the first time that Globestock will be available to our industry in the Middle East and we look forward to being able to provide a five star quality product that will help to improve the safety of all riggers working in the region."
