Managing such a wide and varied portfolio of business operations, Fire and Health & Safety Manager, Darren Read had some specific risks to contend with so looked for a provider to help manage that risk on a day-to-day basis.

Shield Safety’s solution

With years of expertise in this area, we have worked closely with Mitchells & Butlers since 2014 to offer services tailored to their exact needs. The largest team of Environmental Health Practitioners in the country worked with Darren to create and deliver a bespoke audit set which matched their exact requirements. “It hasn’t been an ‘off-the-shelf’ audit, we have been involved right from the start. That sort of personal touch has been great.”

‘We believe in making safety simple’, so we went one step further supporting the manager in his role through our award-winning software. “Compliance Centre has made my life a lot easier – with central visibility of what’s going on at every single business, the in-built reporting is very friendly and practical things like downloading reports into excel means I can use them offline.” The risk and safety management software has been designed to enable our clients to calculate risk, streamline and automate processes, meet legal requirements and so much more.
