ACME whistles, lanyards and accessories

Whistles are a wonderfully diverse tool that have almost unlimited applications. From sporting events to dog training, and from safety and survival to hunting and countryside pursuits, there is a beautifully engineered whistle to suit whatever activity you are engaged in. ACME covers all bases with our impressive and diverse range and we have forged a reputation for being the most trusted and well-known whistle maker in the world.

Our heritage spans more than 150 years, and to this day our whistles are manufactured at our UK-based factory by skilled craftspeople. While we produce a collection of contemporary whistles that are built for a modern age, some of our classics have been in production since the 1800s and are an enduring symbol of our founder Joseph Hudon’s innovations.

More than just whistles

A whistle by itself is generally a small but important piece of equipment. Due to their size and portability it is easier than you might think to lose them; so we have produced a complete range of whistle accessories including leather lanyards to help you keep your whistle safe and secure. Not only do whistle lanyards make it much more difficult to misplace your whistle, they also make it much easier to keep your whistle close to hand, exactly where you need it to be.

A good example of a situation where whistle lanyards are invaluable is during dog training sessions. If you are a dog owner you will know the importance of being able to react to your dog’s actions quickly and effectively. There is little point in whistle training your dog for recall and other commands if you are keeping the whistle in a pocket, or even worse, at the bottom of a handbag. The more quickly you can access your dog training whistle the more effectively you will be able to communicate your commands to your dog.

Another scenario that effectively highlights the importance of a whistle lanyard is during sporting events. The active work of a referee means that they can potentially drop their whistle somewhere on the pitch or field, making it impossible to communicate with the players in a timely manner. By using a leather lanyard worn about the neck, a referee can instantly access their most important tool and make themselves heard over the background noise.

For health and safety reasons, outdoorsmen will want their survival whistles to hand at all times when entering challenging and potentially risky environments. There may even be times when life and limb depend on their ability to quickly access their whistle and they may not have the time or ability to fish for their whistle inside their pack in an emergency situation. By wearing the whistle on a sturdy whistle lanyard or chain they can always have this effective piece of safety equipment to hand, safe in the knowledge that it can be accessed at a moment’s notice should they need it.

As well as a choice of leather lanyards, we also offer whistle lanyards that can be worn on the wrist, breakaway lanyards that are ideal for safety, police whistle chains, tab chains, and durable knotted lanyards. This complete range of whistles and whistle accessories make ideal gifts for friends and family, or a treat for yourself. We also offer these high quality products on a wholesale basis, so if you are interested in becoming a partner and stocking our iconic whistles and accessories then please don’t hesitate to get in touch at your convenience.
