Overview
I am the Head of Consultancy at the award-winning Shield Safety Group with over 20 years’ experience. As part of an expert team, I can hand hold and guide you through the complexities of compliance, advising you on best practices and improvements, through our services and risk management software.
My expertise is helping businesses formulate and implement strategies to improve the safety culture and performance in their organisation. Using my background as a Chartered Environmental Heath Practitioner, operator and consultant I have an almost unique appreciation of the challenges that businesses face and can therefore help them creatively make changes which make a real difference to the safety of team and customers.
