About Us

Safeguard Engineering is a privately owned, independent company that has been trading since 2013. Our company was established to meet a growing demand for a safety and environmental engineering specialist that is completely impartial, cost effective and operates with the highest levels of integrity and trust. This vision remains at the fundamental core of the business that continues to operate today.

Our reputation

We’ve built a strong reputation over the last 10 years as one of the leading environmental, safety and engineering consultancy providers, bringing specialist knowledge and expertise to support our clients in the Defence and Commercial sectors.

Our reputation for quality work has enabled us to grow significantly, from the original two founding Directors, to a team of 50+ highly experienced safety engineers and environmentalists who share in the Directors’ vision and goals. 

Our team

Our company is home to highly qualified engineers and consultants from diverse disciplines, including safety, marine, aviation, weapons and explosives, air traffic management, and environmental sciences. Many of our team members are Chartered Engineers or Associates of the Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment (IEMA). We leverage this extensive expertise with a multi-disciplinary approach, integrating the best practices and lessons across different sectors to deliver a truly comprehensive service to our clients. We take immense pride in nurturing our team’s professional growth through our organic mentoring program, guiding them toward membership in their respective professional bodies and fostering ongoing development.

 

Many of our staff have joined us following distinguished careers in the Armed Forces or Civil Service. Their extensive experience from both operational and peacetime theatres, supporting military activities in engineering and assurance roles, affords us a profound understanding and deep appreciation of our end customer and their desire to protect UK interests at home and abroad. 

 

As such we’re proud supporters of the Defence Employer Recognition Scheme (ERS), recognising the many vast and varied transferable skills that veterans can  bring to our organisation. We acknowledge and value  the diverse talents and experiences they can offer, enriching our team and enhancing our capacity for  excellence. 

Our locations

The Safeguard Engineering head office is located in the vibrant city of Bristol, strategically positioned to allow our team to readily support our clients in DE&S Abbeywood and throughout the Southwest region.

Additionally, our offices in Cardiff, Falmouth, Plymouth, Portsmouth and Liverpool allow us to deliver specialist marine engineering, safety and environmental support to our clients in these strategically important dockyard locations.  

Corporate Social Responsibility and Social Value

We believe in giving back – it’s that simple.

 

Every year we support two charities, chosen by our team, to provide our support and fundraise for. And for every pound that’s raised by our team, Safeguard Engineering match up to £5000.

 

Our current company charities are Scotty’s Little Soldiers, supporting bereaved military children and Tom Harrison House, who support veterans and serving military personnel. Both of these vital organisations support the front-line service personnel that our work seeks to protect.

 

Additionally, we take pride in our local community involvement and currently sponsor the match kit for Falmouth United’s Under 9s team. Coached by our very own Safeguard Helidecks Operations Manager, this initiative demonstrates our ongoing commitment to supporting grassroots endeavours within our community.

Regard for our Environment and community

Our commitment to environmental practices extends beyond our consultancy services and is integral to our business ethos. We ensure that the principles of environmental conservation and sustainability are prioritised in all aspects of our operations:

  • Our offices are positioned locally to client sites, enabling us to offer an agile and responsive service while also helping us to reduce our carbon footprint and the associated travel costs to our customers.
  • Each office sets annual targets for recycling and energy conservation, ensuring ongoing efforts towards environmental responsibility.
  • We actively support our neighbouring businesses by outsourcing catering requirements to them, fostering community engagement and sustainable partnerships.

Furthermore, we actively promote carbon footprint reduction among our team, with hybrid working keenly embraced as a fundamental aspect of the Safeguard Engineering business. And when commuting to their local office, the majority of our team opt for public transportation, further demonstrating our commitment to sustainable practices.
