53 Rockall Safety is a safety equipment supplier based in Cardiff and has been providing customers with quality products and service since its operations began in 1995. We speak to Len Bridgeman who tells us more about what it takes to ensure clients have access to all the necessary apparatus to keep them safe. Gas Director & Safety Equipment Provider Company of the Year 2023 - Wales Contact: Len Bridgeman Company: Rockall Safety Web Address: www.rockallsafety.co.uk Rockall Safety specialise in an array of safety elements, offering products and training to countless work environments and sectors. These are inclusive of such implements as portable and fixed gas detectors, escape sets, self-rescuers, and simple yet necessary apparatus in the form of ropes, lifelines, and lanyards. In addition to this, the company offers product hire, detailed training courses, and other related services to cater to the needs of clients. With a team of keen, dedicated specialists committed to providing excellent customer service and ensuring clients always have the necessary safety equipment and training they need for whatever situation they may find themselves in, Rockall Safety deliver on their promise to keep you safe. With safety serving as the company’s primary objective, a strategy of careful study is necessary to guarantee success. This is based on a combination of key information provided by the client, on-site surveying, and data analysis. Methodical and detailed planning is essential from the outset, and by working closely with clients and liaising with them directly, the team can ensure that in-house safety procedures, bespoke control systems, and regulation are all managed and controlled effectively. The nature of the work means Rockall Safety always goes the extra mile for its clients, providing a one stop shop for survey, design, installation, and servicing. Len explains, “this is something we want the gold medal for every time. We won’t settle for second best, and so neither should our customers.” In addition to offering an array of fixed and portable gas detectors and useful information on brands and specific products on the company website, the team also run an online blog providing safety news and advice, which answers many common queries and provides advice on such issues as the danger of carbon monoxide, identifying and managing risks caused by ammonia, and reasons why your fixed gas detector can fail. This serves as a paramount example of the company going above and beyond for its clients, not only providing customers with the necessary products, but offering advice on their implementation and issues within the wider industry. Over the last ten years, the safety sector has seen tremendous growth, particularly the impact of hydrogen, which has already ushered in some huge changes and will undoubtedly continue to do so for years to come. As a company based in Wales, the upcoming Celtic Freeport will have a tremendous impact on the business and will bring with it new opportunities and challenges. The Freeport will act as the epicentre of investment and innovation hubs in the area, and provide people with an exemplary platform for import/export opportunities down the line. Looking ahead to the rest of 2023, Len believes the company will continue to grow in both the fixed and portable gas detection areas of the business, while simultaneously hiring more people to further advance the electrical team. This will help scale up and deliver turnkey solutions even more efficiently than the company is able to do now. Furthermore, it is an exciting time for the team as Rockall Safety will soon be moving to bigger and better premises. Although the company will be operating from a new location, the team are determined to provide the same friendly, knowledgeable, and well-informed service that they have been since they began nearly 30 years ago.
