UK safety products and services provider with integrated PPE, workwear, and consulting
Arco is a 140-year-old UK safety business spanning products (PPE, workwear, footwear, signage) and advisory services. The tech stack reveals a traditional enterprise setup (SAP, Excel, Office) layered with modern analytics (BigQuery, Looker Studio, Power BI) and quality-assurance tools (Selenium, Cypress), suggesting ongoing digital maturation. Active hiring is sales-heavy (15 roles, mostly mid-level), with concurrent focus on data integrity and cross-category selling—pointing toward a sales-operations challenge around customer data and multi-product bundling.
Arco supplies safety workwear, footwear, PPE, and protective clothing to UK businesses, alongside safety training and consultancy services. The company operates as a privately held, family-run business with 1,001–5,000 employees based in Hull. Current operational priorities include expanding the industrial gloves and footwear business into new geographies (notably Ireland), automating manual data and transaction processes, and improving prospect qualification to drive profitable growth. Active projects span customer lifecycle management, multi-channel marketing campaigns, and linked selling strategies that cross safety categories.
Core enterprise systems (SAP, Excel, Office, Jira) paired with modern analytics (BigQuery, Looker Studio, Power BI, Google Analytics). Testing tools include Selenium and Cypress. Recently adopting Google Analytics 4 and Hotjar.
