I now specialise in Gas Detection and Breathing Apparatus including full rebuild and recertification of Customer Assets, along with training our entire scope of units.
I look forward to meeting new, and returning, trainees and helping you find the ‘light-bulb’ moment where you understand how simple it can be to protect yourself and others at work, allowing us all to return home to our families at the end of the day.
