Before Leigh at Safehaven carried out our fire risk assessment, we had no idea our means-of-escape signage hadn’t been updated since a 2019 refurbishment. Within two weeks we had a prioritised action plan, and our insurance renewal came back with no additional loading—saving roughly £1,200. Clear reporting, no jargon, and he explained exactly why each finding mattered.
Community CIC · BirminghamI’ll admit I thought a compliance audit would just be a box-ticking exercise that told us what we already knew. It wasn’t. Leigh identified a gap in our contractor RAMS process that our previous adviser had missed for three years running, and walked our site team through the fix rather than just handing us a document.
Warehouse and logistics company · WalsallWe’ve used Safehaven Consultancy for the last four premises-licence renewals. What’s kept us coming back isn’t just the paperwork—it’s that they flag things before Environmental Health or the licensing team do. Our last renewal went through with zero conditions attached, which hasn’t happened before.
