BPA Services was founded in 1987 but is going through a period of expansion, winning new contracts across the UK and bringing in new Health and Safety Consultant Ben Warrender.

“We have made a substantial commitment to training and we believe this pays dividends in both our specialist work with our clients and growing the reputation of BPA Services,” said Darren.

Ben and fellow staff member, Russell Barnett are IOSH technical members and Ben is working towards his diploma in health and safety from NEBOSH (National Examination Board in Occupational Safety) and Russell is currently working on completion of his NVQ Level 5 Environmental Safety courses.

Company Director, Andrea Braddock, said: “We have worked with BPA for a year and find their advice and expertise to be invaluable. BPA have worked closely with us to gain a full understanding of our business and they understand our need to provide high standards of health and safety management without the cost of unnecessary bureaucracy.”
