Bespoke Health & Safety Services
Practical, tailored health and safety support for manufacturing, production and other workplaces — in Leicester, across the Midlands and UK-wide. Whether you need temporary cover, project-based help or extra support for your internal team, we shape the support around your site.
Who it’s for
Our bespoke health and safety services suit organisations that need something specific rather than an off-the-shelf package. You may recognise your situation below.
Temporary cover
Planned or short-notice cover when a health and safety manager, adviser or coordinator is absent, on leave or between roles — so standards and momentum don’t slip.
Internal teams
Extra capacity and a second opinion for an existing health and safety coordinator, manager or adviser during busy periods, projects or peaks in workload.
Management systems
Help to keep your health and safety management system current, organised and genuinely used as your site, processes and people change.
Projects
Focused input on a defined piece of work — an audit programme, a documentation overhaul, a new process or a specific health and safety challenge.
Manufacturing & production
Practical support from someone who understands machinery, workplace transport, contractors and the day-to-day pressures of a live production environment.
Other workplaces
We specialise in manufacturing and production, but can also support warehousing, logistics and other workplaces where our experience is a good fit.
What we help with
From a one-off project to ongoing support for your team, we agree exactly what’s useful and focus on outputs you can actually use. A typical selection of what we help with:
01
Practical site audits and inspections that show where your arrangements stand and what to prioritise, benchmarked against relevant legal duties.
02
Coaching and mentoring for internal managers and coordinators who look after health and safety alongside other duties.
03
Keeping documentation, audits and actions moving while you recruit a new health and safety manager or adviser.
04
Helping operational and production managers understand and deliver their health and safety responsibilities.
05
Support to prepare for external inspections, client and customer requirements, insurer requests or internal reviews.
06
These are just examples — not a fixed list. Get in touch to discuss the bespoke health and safety support you need.
Manufacturing & production
Manufacturing and production environments bring risks that need practical, proportionate management — not a generic checklist. We focus on what matters on your site and help keep it sensible and workable alongside production.
These settings often involve a mix of activities and hazards. The areas we’re commonly asked to help with include:
We keep advice proportionate to your size, processes and risk — controls that work in a live production setting, drawing on HSE guidance on managing health and safety where it helps.
How it works
Bespoke support is straightforward to set up. There’s no obligation at the early stages — the first step is simply understanding whether we’re the right fit.
1
Tell us about your business, your site and the support you’re looking for.
2
A no-obligation conversation or site visit to understand what you actually need.
3
We agree exactly what’s included, so expectations are clear on both sides.
4
You receive a straightforward proposal setting out the support and approach.
5
We carry out the agreed work — alongside your team, not over the top of them.
6
You get clear outputs: reports, actions or documentation you can put to use.
Which is right for you?
Not every business needs bespoke support. If you mainly want an annual review and competent advice to lean on, our Competent Person Service is often the more cost-effective choice.

Alternative
If you’re an SME that mainly needs a cost-effective annual review, general advice and access to competent support, this may suit you better.

FAQs
Bespoke health and safety services are tailored to a specific need rather than a fixed package. That might be temporary cover, a defined project, support for an internal team, or help with a more complex site. We agree the scope with you and shape the support around your business, your workplace and the level of help required.
Yes. We provide temporary or interim health and safety cover for manufacturing and production businesses — for example during recruitment, absence, workload peaks or organisational change — so documentation, audits and actions keep moving while you’re short of internal resource.
Yes — this is our main focus. We understand machinery, workplace transport, contractors, maintenance, COSHH, noise, fire risk, manual handling and work at height, and we keep advice practical and proportionate to a live production setting.
Yes. A lot of our work supports an existing coordinator, manager or adviser rather than replacing them — providing extra capacity, a second opinion, coaching or help with a specific project, while they keep their operational knowledge and day-to-day control.
Yes. We can review and help maintain your health and safety management system so it stays current, structured and genuinely used — including policies, procedures, risk assessments, audits and action plans as your site and processes change.
No. We’re based in Leicester and regularly support businesses across Leicestershire and the wider Midlands, but we also provide health and safety support to businesses elsewhere in the UK. Site-based work is arranged to suit your location.
Bespoke support is for specific projects, temporary cover, more complex needs or additional support for an internal team. Our Competent Person Service is a cost-effective option for SMEs that mainly need an annual review, general support and access to competent health and safety advice across the year.
We don’t publish fixed prices for bespoke work, because the right approach depends on the project, the size of the business, the level of support required and the nature of the workplace. After a short, no-obligation discussion we set out a clear proposal so you know exactly what’s included before anything begins.
Whether it’s a specific project, temporary cover or extra support for your internal team, we’ll talk it through and suggest a practical way forward. Tell us about your site and what you need — there’s no obligation.
