Passed Down Through Generations

Founded by Boris, our legacy is built on true craftsmanship. Boris mastered the art of industrial net making, passing down decades of hands-on knowledge, techniques and pride to his son, John.

Today, John runs the Fleetwood factory with the same dedication to quality, ensuring every custom net we manufacture carries forward our founding commitment to strength, reliability and practical workmanship.
Alongside John, the third generation carries the legacy forward with his daughter, Jo, who leads our accredited training programs, while our dedicated manufacturing staff form the backbone of the factory floor. Though not related by blood, our craftsmen possess generations of individual rigging experience, having worked seamlessly across both eras of family leadership to maintain the unbroken continuity, skill, and pride that defines every net we produce.

Industrial Engineering

When high-profile aerospace and defence organisations require specialised netting, they turn to Boris Nets for practical, project-specific support.

Our industrial capabilities allow us to engineer a unique safety netting solution for demanding warehouse and manufacturing areas. Two examples include aisle protection nets that create a pedestrian barrier and block-stack collapse protection nets designed to reduce pallet fall risk and lower injury risk.

From commercial docks to defence facilities, we manufacture bespoke safety netting solutions for complex UK projects, including high-strength nylon netting to help prevent falls through gaps and HDPE systems that protect people, stock and property from falling debris.
