We wanted to review our Health & Safety and needed a personal touch, Gary from BSS was the answer, he very quickly became our dedicated HSE advisor.

We needed a 100% fit for purpose solution that specialised in our trade (not an off the shelf purchase). Gary quickly understood our needs and work began. So happy we have given Gary a 2 year rolling contract. A great asset to any business.

Dear Gary  

I cannot thank you enough for the Fire Risk Assessment completed at Didsbury a few  weeks ago, your report was presented in a fashion that anyone could read and no  jargon.  

The images and the content showed the client what was wrong and how it could be  rectified using the report content.

This report was also submitted to the local housing  authority, whereupon your details will be shared to HMO Landlords alike for future  reference. 

I am extremely proud to call you a business partner in what YIOP LTD do for property  management, looking forward to using you again and I will not hesitate to refer all  your services to any client that needs it. 

Once again Thank You

Gary was recommended to us when I reached out for an efficient Health & Safety officer to conduct multiple fire risk assessments to keep our business compliment.

I found Gary to be approachable, open and honest and on top of this, he over-delivered. Gary conducted all our risk assessments in a timely manner and had the reports back to us within 24 hours.

If you’re looking for a reliable Health and Safety expert, I’d highly recommend you call Gary in the first instance. He is now our Health & Safety go to guy.

BSS helped my osteopathic practice with specific reassurance of implementing PPE for patient and practitioner safety during the Corona Virus 19 pandemic. Plus all health and safety auditing of my osteopathic practice . Gary also looks after me and makes aware of any changes that need to be made due to change in legislation. To which I’m very grateful for.

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Gary Durnal of BSS. I can highly recommend.

Here at Titan Electrical we have been using Gary for our health and safety needs for the past 6 months.

We previously used a company who gave us a 147-page H&S manual which was not specific to us, Gary has reduced this significantly and made it specific to us.

The previous company never came to our office premises to check our procedures and signage if any. Once on board the first thing Gary did was visit us and get procedures in place and to display all the relevant documents.

Gary makes bespoke health and safety packages to suit your company plus gives you full support and back up.

So, with all that said I would not hesitate to refer Gary on to companies who would make use of his great services.
