A REDDITCH company which invented a state-of-the-art high visibility jacket for cyclicsts and pedestrians has won this year's British Safety Innovation Federation Award.

The internationally recognised award was taken by Praybourne of Washford Industrial Estate for its innovative Pulsarneon waistcoat.

The waistcoats incorporate a flashing or constantly luminous light strip which can be seen from up to a kilometre away.

The waistcoats are due to go on sale this month in Halfords.
