History
WILLANS owes its original success to the expertise of a retired British Army Major, Major "Dumbo" Willans and the business talent of a former Lotus Formula Junior driver John Fenning.
The eclectic pair first met in 1967. Major Willans was making safety harnesses for the aircraft industry and John Fenning wanted to make motor racing safer. In 1967 they introduced harnesses to the motorsport world and in 1969 equipped their first Formula 1 World Champion. The business grew over the years until Major Willans decided to concentrate on fall protection harnesses and John Fenning continued to concentrate on the motorsport market.
With 19 Formula 1 World Champions and over 250 Grand Prix wins to date, as well as countess victories in other categories around the world, there is no question that the company has a long and succesful history with more success to come in the future in an ever widening range of motor sports.
