Ms Philippa Leech
BSc (Hon)
Overview
As a former client of a Health & Safety consultancy myself, I have a unique perspective on what clients truly want and need from a safety partner. I appreciate the immense pressure of the day job, but I also recognise the vital role that a practical, well-integrated safety strategy plays. With a can-do attitude and exemplary communication skills, I aim to make your work environment safer and your life easier.

Construction Work
Construction is one of the most hazardous industries due to the constantly changing nature of the work, the environments in which it takes place, and the number of people involved on a typical project. The sector continues to experience high levels of fatal accidents, serious injuries, and occupational health problems compared with many other industries.
In addition to immediate physical dangers, construction workers face long-term health risks. Exposure to dust, asbestos, silica, chemicals, fumes, excessive noise, and vibration can lead to serious illnesses and chronic health conditions. Repetitive movements, heavy lifting, and physically demanding tasks also contribute to musculoskeletal disorders and long-term injuries.

General consultancy
Most health and safety consultancies focus on the paperwork. We focus on the people.
We know that the most resilient safety systems are not rigid rulebooks; they are adaptive frameworks shaped around the reality of human behaviour. When you partner with Templar, you don't get generic scripts or off-the-shelf templates. You get a dedicated team that takes the time to understand your unique operational challenges, from the boardroom to the shop floor.
Our in-person, relationship-led approach ensures that your safety strategy doesn't just meet compliance thresholds; it strengthens your organisational culture, improves operational performance, and builds long-term resilience.
In an ever‑evolving Health & Safety landscape, we support our clients by providing timely insights into emerging topics such as neurodiversity, stress and wellbeing, menopause, and sexual harassment and victimisation.
