PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
Welcome<br />
We are based in Cumbria, in the Northwest of the UK, in 2015 founders Lawrence Harris and<br />
Andrew Laird started <strong>WRS</strong> to offer innovative water rescue products to emergency<br />
services. The main focus being on the inflatable boats market, with our first product being<br />
the Swift Water Rescue Sled. Our vision is to develop products that centre round the<br />
challenges of technical rescue teams both operationally and in allowance for training time<br />
coupled with the changing requirement for Flood response in the urban environment.<br />
Since our inception in 2015 we have expanded into the United States with our manufacturing<br />
partners producing a range of 100% US made <strong>WRS</strong> products for the US rescue services.<br />
For our European and World markets our South Korean Factory set very high standards on<br />
quality. The range of fabrics we use allows us to select the most appropriate fabric for the<br />
application with our product range using Hypalon, PVC, PU (TPU) and Neoprene.
