Who We Work With Across Cambridgeshire
Cambridgeshire has a distinctive mix of organisations — historic university and collegiate buildings in Cambridge, a large and growing care sector, many rural churches and village halls, and a thriving small business community. We have experience with all of these, and understand the particular challenges that older and listed buildings present for fire safety compliance.
We also cover Huntingdonshire, which includes Huntingdon, St Ives, St Neots and Ramsey. Many organisations in this area operate across both Cambridgeshire and Bedfordshire — we cover both counties and are happy to support organisations with premises in multiple locations.
Why Choose an Independent Consultant?
As an independent consultant, we are not tied to any particular insurance product, training provider or equipment supplier. Our only interest is in helping you achieve genuine compliance. We are NEBOSH-qualified with hands-on experience across a wide range of premises types. Reports are in plain English and are ready to present to your insurer, fire authority or other regulator.
