Nick Evans
Managing Director, Safewell Ltd
I have 12 years experience in the field of H&S. the industries I have worked in include, rubber, electronics and pharmaceutical. In 2006 I wanted a change so I set up Safewell to provide H&S consultancy and training.
When I handed my notice in I told my team I would create a company and employ them so we could offer the same level of occupational health and safety services to more than one client. Within two years I have employed 2 of 3. The 3rd already knows a job offer will come within the next 18 months.
Sensible H&S is my passion and offering relevant advice to our clients. I may be unique in the H&S world because, through my taekwondo training, I am able to break concrete slabs with my hands! See the video on utube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_N62YN9wd9M
