Strengthening our capability in conventional safety

Ensuring the safety of workers is a legal requirement for all employers, which can prove challenging whilst balancing financial and strategic considerations. By providing expert conventional safety advice in a pragmatic way, we strive to provide effective solutions for our clients.

To strengthen our service offering in conventional safety, we’re delighted to welcome Paul Roberts to our risk management team as a Principal Consultant.
