Process Safety Consulting
Founder led and specialising in the COMAH Regulations. With over 25 years working across high-hazard industries in operational, maintenance, safety, and consultancy roles, I understand the realities of your sites and sectors.
The consultancy is built around flexibility, tailored support, and long-term relationships. I work closely with clients to provide a personable, independent service that’s free from corporate targets, fixed methodologies or downstream engineering interests.
Who I work with
My ideal clients are typically in management roles at high-hazard sites - Site / SHEQ / Engineering or Project Managers - often acting as duty holders under COMAH. They’re not necessarily process safety experts, but they care deeply about improving their site’s process safety performance. Whilst initially they might be looking to resolve an immediate problem, they typically want a long-term partnership and see us as an extension of their organisation who they can contact quickly when needed.

About our services
Clients often come to me when they’re short on time, stretched thin, or unsure how to apply COMAH in a way that fits their site. Many face daily pressures and lack the space to build lasting process safety competence.
I can handle the work directly or guide you through it, always aiming for practical, proportionate solutions tailored to your sector. Rather than just delivering a report, I explain what it means for your site and outline next steps-building a partnership that strengthens your confidence and capability.
If you want a consultant genuinely invested in your long-term safety and compliance-not just the next big job-I’d be glad to help.
Mission
I started this consultancy to respond to a clear need: the erosion of process safety competence in high-hazard industries. My work is guided by two principles.
- keep things simple.
- always leave clients stronger than when we started.
