Whether you are at a football match, playing tennis, driving, farming, protesting, working or many other activities, you will come across fencing. Betafence is one of the largest manufacturers of fencing in the world. They have manufacturing all over the world including 2 factories in Britain. Amongst the items made in Britain is barbed wire - one of the most common types of fencing seen across the UK.

Their two factories in Britain - in Sheffield and Wigan - show the confidence that they have in British manufacturing and the quality that it offers. Not a product that generates huge interest but something used everyday and at the heart of another great British industry - farming.
