Willans is a family run business established in 1967 and totally dedicated to the safety of race car and sporting drivers.
While high profile motor sport is the most demanding part of Willans' business, with many top drivers requesting bespoke harnesses, it is complemented by the production of a range of standard models. Willans produce harnesses for many different types of competition vehicle with the same high quality of workmanship and design.
All of our products are made in our facility in Inkpen, in the UK by highly skilled craftswomen who have many years of experience in producing the world's finest harnesses.
All Willans harnesses use the finest quality military specification POLYESTER webbing manufactured in the UK. We will not use the inferior Nylon webbing that is commonly used by manufacturers in North America. |
All of our harness are available in Blue, Red and Black with Silver made to order. We believe that a product should look good as well as function well, which is why our Silverstone range of harnesses have the light alloy adjusters colour co-ordinated to the colour of the webbing with a lovely anodised finish.
Outside motor sport, Willans reputation for reliable, high quality safety harnesses has led to its involvement in a number of world class projects. These include manufacturing the harness for the Thrust SSC which broke the land speed record in 1997 and also helping the MIR Space Station with research into osteoporosis.
Willans supplied harnesses to both Virgin Atlantic Challenger attempts when Sir Richard Branson smashed the world record for the fastest crossing of the Atlantic achieving this amazing feat in a 72 foot powerboat.
Currently we are celebrating our 43rd year in business, during which time we have supplied most top teams and manufacturers around the world.
In 2009 the following Championships and events were won with our harnesses:
- Formula 1 World Drivers Championship : Jenson Button
- Formula 1 World Constuctors Championship : BrawnGP
- LeMans 24 Hour Race : Peugeot with David Brabham, Alexander Wurz and Marc Gene
