“The H&S professionals (Craig and Andy) who supported on this event were amazing – cool, calm, insistent on finding a solution to any problem encountered, and also willing to explain actions and decisions to the end client. It can be challenging on a live event; people are tired and want to get things done.

Testimonials

“I was looking at a way to get some staff trained in IOSH and would like to thank Helen and her team at Harrier. In business, you have to know the people you employ have the skillset to carry out the task you set them and that they can reasonably carry out that task to a trained level and Harrier have expertly trained my colleagues to do so. Thanks to Harrier I can now sleep easier when I know my risk assessments are written by competent and well trained staff.” 

Stephen Murray, Head Of Stewarding, Controlled Solutions Group at the Motorpoint Arena Nottingham

“Having worked alongside Helen and the Harrier team on various projects over the last 15 years, I have known all about Harrier since its formation. They have assisted us with various projects and different styles of events, ensuring that we comply with current legislation. I would not hesitate for a moment to recommended Harrier, who are always at hand to provide constant advice.”

Tony Carey, Managing Director of The Events Company

 

“Harrier went above and beyond in helping us make sure we were able to get our premises licence, run our event safely and ensure all of that happened with the least impact to our guests as possible. They were an important part of ensuring the first ever Nottingham Craft Beer Festival held at Sneinton Market Avenues went well and we would recommend them for anyone needing similar services. Their team are experts, excellent communicators and understand the impact of health and safety requirements both from an event organiser, legal and visitor perspective. We will definitely be using them again next year.”
Al Gilby, LeftLion Director

“We decided to choose Harrier because the clients/events they have acted for seemed appropriate for our requirements. Harrier have acted as a very affective Health and Safety Officer at the last 2 events. Our initial approach to the company was dealt with very professionally and we were impressed with their background, qualifications and practical approach. Harrier are thorough, down to earth, and not intimidating in respect to issues identified. We would recommend Harrier to any other businesses”
Dick Jones, Events Planner for St. Albans Abbey

“Harrier really brings about a sense of normality to the serious conversation that is health and safety – this makes the process a lot easier. They don’t just focus on large contracts; they really care and really think about how a business can provide the best customer service through their solutions, putting everyone’s best interests at heart. I’d have no hesitation in recommending Helen and the team to other businesses and we’ll always look to Harrier for any advice in the future.” 

Daniel Dunne, Confessions Owner

“In September 2018 Harrier UK provided Leicester LGBT Centre with a free Health & Safety Review which was of great benefit and has informed our Centres Health & Safety planning for the future. The review was very informative and guided us with regards to all health and safety standards, compliance and legislation. Alongside the review Harrier have also provided contacts for the completion of Fire Risk Assessments and Legionella Testing which has been really helpful. Thank you for offering us the free Health & Safety review it has been invaluable to our organisation”.

Jackie Earl, Leicester LGBT Centre

“Attended an excellent and informative half-day course on Mental Health Awareness given by Tracy Hartshorn. Very instructive, useful and a must for all team members. Would thoroughly recommend.”

Chris Richards, CEO of The British Enhancement Centre

“Tracey’s training was thought-provoking and insightful, in ways that allowed me to evaluate my own practice when working with people who have mental health issues. The focus was practical, and how to best support those in need with simple strategies which would be easy to translate to my work environment”

Kate Logan, Journey to Work Coach, TwentyTwenty

“A fantastic course from Harrier and Tracey Hartshorne on Mental Health Awareness. Some really useful guidance on spotting someone who might be suffering with a mental health condition as well as practical and sensitive tips on how to have a discussion with someone who is suffering, whether that is in business or personally. I’d really recommend this course” 

Cheryl Willey, Peak HR

“Harrier were recommended to us by a HR company and have been fantastic! From the start they offered site visits and helped get our three offices in line with recommended health & safety practices. They’ve remained on hand and checked in on us regularly including offering help with risk assessments and individual concerns. We recommend them for their professionalism and how helpful they’ve been!” 

Lisa Haworth, Branch Manager for Martin & Co Nottingham City

“I found the course very interesting as an introduction to Mental Health Awareness. It carefully dispelled the many myths associated with mental health together with raising much more questions that I intend to find out more on. The trainer was excellent, developing a comfortable environment whereby participants were able to develop their understanding of some of these issues surrounding this most sensitive of topics.” 
Prakash Panchal, Fair Play for Us

Their approach is always to provide informative and knowledgeable expert advice, whilst providing a thorough and practical service, all based on insight, experience and knowhow.
I have no hesitation in recommending their services to anyone thinking of employing their services.”

Simon Ward, Director, Pro-Aktiv

“We sent one of our team to attend the IOSH Managing Safely Training Course ran by Harrier, who we identified as the best training provider for our needs in developing safety management skills. From booking onto the course through to completion, the process was pleasant, and the attendee really got a lot of the training. It’s great to see him using these skills already. I can’t recommend Harrier enough, and will definitely be using them again for our IOSH Training.”

Martin Barraclough GradIOSH – Senior Production Coordinator DNG

“Harrier have a practical and pragmatic approach to Health and Safety.  They know that we can’t change overnight, and instead have helped in identifying our priorities and are always on hand for advice and support. Gina and Helen are both extremely knowledgeable, supportive and friendly -trust me it helps! I would not hesitate to recommend them as a provider of training or ongoing support. Their training has been so successful that we have now been working with Harrier since 2017!”

Darryl Roberts, the operations Director at Radical Sportscars

‘Harrier were engaged by ourselves to perform a H&S audit in February 2020. We had great early engagement with our onsite contractor and a thorough examination of our practices and systems on site. It has been greatly helpful for us and the information from the report is being used as a base from which to work from going forward. We look forward to working with Harrier in the future and have already confirmed a revisit to check our progress in the future.’

Jason Lunn, Venue Director, East of England Arena and Events Centre

“For many of our staff, their last H&S course was pre-covid and so it was really important for us, and their own CPD to ensure their knowledge was up to date, and fresh in their thoughts. The Harrier team are well known to the team already meaning discussions are open and engaging, and they’re able to tailor the course to the Stadium and the specific requirements of our staff. Everyone came away having learnt a lot and we’ve definitely seen a rise in the wider team’s participation in H&S matters since”
