The present disclosure provides a termination band and a method of manufacturing the termination band, which includes a strap and a head. When secured, the head comprises an upper wall, lower wall and opposed side walls formed as a loop with the strap extending therefrom. The termination band is therefore formed as a two-piece component, rather than a single piece as in the prior art. Advantageously this enables the strap and the head to be formed from stainless steel strip having the same width as the head and the strap. It is therefore not necessary to trim the material of either part, hence there is significantly reduced material wastage when forming the termination band. In addition, because the strap and head are both initially in the form of straight-sided elongate strips prior to the folding or joining operations, both parts may be easily edge finished and/or surface finished.
