In this issue of Healthcare Matters, we are pleased to feature Yeoman Shield as our Wall & Door Protection Company of the Month.
Yeoman Shield, a division of Harrison Thompson & Co. Ltd was established in 1966 by Peter Brumwell. The family company based in Leeds manufactures its own branded products that cater to a diverse group of sectors from healthcare to education, leisure and retail.
“Our main role is to design, manufacture and supply quality wall and door protection systems. We specialise in healthcare solutions such as wall protection, door protection, handrails and bed heads that enhance hygiene, reduce maintenance costs and ensure long-term durability whilst reducing maintenance costs,” stated Phil Christopher sales and Marketing Director.
With a focus on durability and performance, Yeoman Shield is proud to be a British manufacturer and works closely with healthcare facilities, care homes and public sector buildings to provide robust protection solutions tailored to high-traffic environments in healthcare.
Life safety, compartmentalisation, regulatory compliance, and smoke containment are just a few of the critical reasons why fire door services are essential in healthcare settings. Yeoman Shield’s fire-rated door protection products, and associated services not only provide robust solutions but ensure both the safety and compliance of any facility.
Footfall and movement of equipment and objects in 24/7 operational settings such as hospitals and care homes can easily cause damage. For businesses that operate around the clock, fire doors must be in optimal condition in order to provide consistent safety. Yeoman Shield’s range of fire rated door protection products will save businesses thousands of pounds on future costs when it comes to replacement services or repair.
Yeoman Shield continually strives to expand its product range, offering a comprehensive selection that includes door frame and architrave protection, clapping lath protection, glazing beads for doors, door protection panels, door kick plates, and door edge protection. Combined with exceptional customer service and expert installation, Yeoman Shield stands out as a clear leader in the industry.
What’s more, regular inspection, maintenance and servicing of fire doors are essential to ensure they function as intended in an emergency. Yeoman Shield has a suite of services to go alongside its long-standing and industry recognised products. All fire door inspections are undertaken by Yeoman Shield qualified fire door inspectors who can also carry out maintenance and remedial work on fire rated doorsets under the FIRAS third-party certification scheme, as well as install new ones. What’s more, Yeoman Shield door protection products can also be offered as supply only.

“We’ve also recently products range, introducing a new protective hand and crash rail called Contour to meet the growing demand for durable, hygienic solutions,” added Phil.
Since 1966, Yeoman Shield has been dedicated to delivering high-quality solutions that protect buildings while preserving their aesthetic appeal. The company’s commitment to cost-effectiveness, regulatory compliance, and exceptional customer care are hallmarks of its trusted service. Looking ahead, we asked Phil about the company’s plans for the future.
“We plan to continue innovating our wall and door protection systems, invest in sustainable solutions, and grow our presence in the public sector to support a wider range of buildings.”
