The face behind it all
Alan Carlisle: Founder of Ultimat Defence
The company was established in 1988 by Alan Carlisle and was originally known as A&A Judo.
Alan, who had demonstrated exceptional coaching abilities in Judo and various other combat sports, combined his passion for martial arts with his formal education in design. He quickly developed a talent for creating innovative and unique equipment that significantly enhanced his students' learning experiences.
In 1988, a new opportunity presented itself to apply these distinctive methods and designs to law enforcement training. This pivotal moment marked the beginning of the transformation into Ultimat Defence, the company that has since become a leader in providing advanced training solutions for law enforcement and other specialized sectors.
For more than 30 years the team behind Ultimat Defence limited have developed their unique hands on approach to meet and exceed the needs of their customers. As the diverse number of government agencies serviced by Ultimat defence has grown, many ground-breaking training support systems have been pioneered. These Include PPE solutions, scenario training aids, and front-line essentials to many organisations, including NHS, MOD, Police, Prisons and private sector developers.
With more than 30 years producing training equipment, we have embedded this experience into the design, manufacture and supply of frontline equipment for officers. Our full range of HOSDB/CAST certified limb protectors have been established in the market for many years, with Ultimat having won a number of extended contracts with police forces throughout the UK. We are also a provider of riot protection equipment, slash and cut protection and method of entry equipment, which enable our Ultimat philosophy of ‘From Training to Reality’ to come to fruition.
