Who we are
We help organisers, exhibitors, and venues deliver safe, compliant, and successful events. With decades of hands-on experience in the live events industry, we understand the pressures of deadlines, contractors, and complex regulations — and how to make compliance feel straightforward.
We act as your safety partner from planning through build, live days, and breakdown. Whether you need help drafting risk assessments, checking stand plans, managing contractors, or providing on-site NEBOSH-qualified support, we bring clarity, structure, and calm professionalism to every stage.
Safety shouldn’t feel like red tape. We combine practical experience with deep regulatory knowledge to keep your event running smoothly and your teams focused on delivery. Every service we provide is built on three principles:
Clarity: Simple, actionable guidance — no jargon.
Confidence: Compliance you can stand behind.
Collaboration: We work as part of your team.
