📍 Locally based — Applegarth Health and Safety is based in St Neots, PE19. We can usually visit within days, not weeks.
St Neots is the largest town in Cambridgeshire, with a thriving town centre, a growing business community, and a wide range of churches, schools, care homes and charities. As a Health and Safety consultant based in St Neots itself, Jeremy Applegarth offers something the larger national firms cannot — genuine local knowledge, fast response times, and no travel surcharges.
Whether you run a small business on the high street, manage a church hall in Eynesbury, operate a care home in Eaton Ford, or lead a school in Little Paxton, your legal obligations under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 are the same. We make meeting those obligations straightforward and affordable.

Why Choose a Local Consultant?
Many Health and Safety consultants operate nationally from a distance, charging travel time and mileage on top of their fees. As a St Neots-based consultant, Jeremy can visit your premises quickly, at a time that suits you, without any travel surcharge. You deal directly with the consultant throughout — not a call centre or an account manager.
With over 20 years' experience and a NEBOSH National Diploma (Level 6 — equivalent to degree level), you can be confident the advice you receive is grounded in genuine expertise, not just a checklist.
