On site across Leicestershire

On-site visits from our Leicester base, with 12 months of remote support nationwide.

How It Works

How our coverage works

TIPS Consultancy is based in Leicester and works with manufacturing and industrial SMEs across Leicestershire and the wider Midlands. Your annual competent person visit, audit and inspection are carried out on site, and your 12 months of support runs by telephone, email and Microsoft Teams – so wherever you are, help is only a call away.

Why Local

Why appoint a local competent person

Appointing a local competent person isn’t just about ticking a legal box. Working with a nearby consultancy means flexible support that fits around your operation, a long-term relationship with one adviser who genuinely knows your site, and a cost-effective alternative to employing a full-time health and safety manager.

Appointed competent person under Regulation 7 (MHSWR 1999).
Audits built on the HSE’s HSG65 ‘Plan, Do, Check, Act’ approach.
Fire competence: Level 4 Diploma in Fire Risk Assessment (ABBE), IFSM members.
Flexible, responsive support. Being close by means we fit visits around your production schedule and respond quickly when something comes up – on site or remotely.
A long-term relationship. You work with one named adviser who learns your business year on year, so the advice keeps getting more tailored – not a different voice each time.
Cost-effective cover. Competent person support from £950 + VAT a year – a fraction of the cost of a full-time health and safety manager, with no long-term tie-ins.
