Who We Are...
Ken started the business in 1987. Prior to that he had 17 years industrial / construction experience and 7 years with a large private training organisation. Ken developed an interest in health and safety whilst he was still at college and this carried on through his work in engineering and construction. He has long been aware of the benefits to everyone of developing a good health and safety culture within an organisation it creates a safer and more pleasant working environment, greater efficiency in the workplace and, more often than not, increased productivity.
With his own Company, initially the emphasis was on training, but gradually as more and more organisations have become aware of the benefits and legal requirements of health and safety, a large part of the business is now concerned with consultancy. Ken has many clients for whom he has set up clear and efficient health and safety systems. Once the systems are in place, he visits these clients regularly anything from once a week to once a year (depending on the size of the business) in order to update them, carry out risk assessments, do further staff training, etc. As well as in-house training, he does also offer regular open courses at various venues, which are appropriate for smaller businesses. He is an accredited trainer for the CIEH.
Penny has a teaching degree with over 20 years experience in schools. She has worked with the business since the start, initially whilst teaching full-time. In 1994 she started teaching part-time and in 2001 gave up altogether, in order to concentrate on health and safety. She is mainly responsible for the administrative side of the business, but has also developed a particular specialisation in Stress and Counselling, having qualifications in both areas. She offers advice on the management of stress and can carry out stress audits or risk assessments. She is an accredited trainer for the CIEH and offers their Stress Awareness course, together with related counselling.
