MEET A MAN ON A MISSION When we met Christopher Rodgers last year, we were amazed and inspired by his 2025 campaign, 500 Miles for 500 Lives. Chris is taking on an epic challenge to shine a light on mental health in Construction by running 500 miles... in full PPE. Yes, you read that right – he’ll be running in overalls, safety boots, gloves, a hard hat, goggles - even his work socks! Why? Because of stats like the ones below: • Suicide takes more construction workers' lives than falls each year, with 1–2 lives lost EVERY working day • Self-employed tradespeople are 3x more likely to die by suicide than the national average • 26% of construction professionals have thought about taking their own lives Chris is partnering with charity Mates In Mind, who work to support mental health and wellbeing across the industry, and together, they’re driving the conversation to reduce these awful numbers. And guess what? Chris has chosen a pair of V12s to get him through this monumental mileage. He’ll be wearing our Hyrax safety hiker, designed for comfort and endurance - just like Chris. 🫡 He needs all the support possible to spread his message far and wide, and we're proud to be keeping him firm-footed and comfortable throughout his many runs this year.

DID YOU JOIN THE COTSWOLD MOVEMENT AT LAMMA 2025? Wow. What an amazing 2 days. When we designed our new dealer ‘Cotswold,’ we knew it would be a special boot. But the reaction to it at LAMMA 2025 surpassed even our own already sky-high expectations. 😮 Thank you to everyone who visited us this week. It was fantastic to see the V12 stand bustling and brimming with curiosity and excitement, particularly around the Cotswold and its absolutely unbeatable levels of comfort. It’s safe to say it caused a bit of a stir... We think the Cotswold is the most comfortable safety dealer you can wear – and we’re proud to report that the many hundreds who queued up to try it agreed. The big question if you’re a safety footwear supplier is: Have you got on-board yet? If not, don’t get left behind, because judging from the feedback at LAMMA, the Cotswold is going to be a bona fide Agri icon, and set to be a massively popular boot for 2025. To get the Cotswold in your offering, contact sales@v12footwear.com and we’ll start the ball rolling. #v12footwear #lamma #safetyfootwear #safetydealer #dealerboot
