“Extremely helpful…”

All assistance I have received from HS Direct during this difficult time had been brilliant.  Mark Kingston and Charlotte in particular were extremely helpful. And they were both very patient with me, walking me through the process.

“I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend…”

From the first contact we have found both Ian and Mark to be extremely helpful, knowledgeable and patient with our enquiries. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend your services to friends.  Thanks again to Mark for his help with putting together the Covid specific RAMS for us over the last few days, at very short notice too!

“I have had a really good experience…”

I have had a really good experience working with Lee Elliott at HS Direct regarding our H&S Site Inspection and Audit. Lee was friendly, informative, helpful, kept me informed at all times as to what was happening and really nothing was too much trouble for him. I am glad we have moved over to using HS Direct from our previous supplier.
