At the heart of Revnet are our experienced fitters who not only provide the core safety netting fitting services, but also the personal touch and contracts management to ensure we deliver on our client expectations. Additional input to Revnet comes from management guidance and oversight from our sister company, Prodek Safety Systems, who supply and fit fall prevention systems and work with the majority of the UK’s large house builders, plus multiple other national and local building contractors.Revnet is currently working with some of the UK’s leading steel fabrication and civil engineering contractors and seeking to build our client portfolio.
