WORKING IN HEIGHT SAFETY SINCE 2006
SafeClimb started as a PPE distributor in June 2006. The company needed a sales specialist to help grow and employed Liza Collard, a height safety specialist, from one of their manufacture suppliers, North Safety Products. North, at the time, was developing a Climbing Wall Descender and found a wall builder to distribute it in the UK. However, it became apparent that a specialist service agent was required to support these customers and SafeClimb was asked to take on the distribution and service of the CWD due to their past relationship and Liza’s expertise.
In 2010 Liza decided to push the North auto belay having secured an exclusive deal with North and launched a website just before the recall of MSA’s Redpoint auto belay withdrawing it from the market. SafeClimb, for a while, became the only distributor in the world to supply a climbing wall descender, or auto belay, and dedicated its business to this alone.
WE LOVE WHAT WE DO
SAFECLIMB TODAY
Since 2014 SafeClimb has been completely dedicated company to the design, manufacture and maintenance of height safety equipment, in particular the SafeDown auto belay, a specifically designed auto belay to replace the CWD that was no longer in manufacture. Liza now runs the company with the sole focus on safety in the leisure markets worldwide. Liza and her team will continue to look at avenues to improve safety at height in the leisure and industrial markets while supporting customers with an attentive maintenance package offering onsite as well as in house servicing.
MEET OUR TEAM
HEIGHT SAFETY SPECIALISTS
With 28 years of experience in the height safety industry, Liza’s dedication to height safety equipment is in the after care, rather than the sale, of the equipment. Liza believes this is where most incidences occur and therefore runs a focused maintenance regime for anything she sells. Liza has been known to remove a customer’s equipment if they won’t get it serviced due to the danger this could put a user at! Not a lady to be messed with! 😉
Dan’s role had changed within the company to reflect new and exciting changes to the way we operate. With the growth of international partners SafeClimb are in a position to have time to develop new and innovate products. He has a long list of projects, some of which are under test now.
Dan is also under the mentoring of our CEO to develop his business management skills and take over the day to day running of the business. He has a passion for all things height safety, coming from the wind turbine industry, including mechanical engineering and climbing indoors or out!
Paul has been working with SafeClimb since 2011 and is responsible for keeping everyone on their toes and in good order, accounts-wise. He’s a stickler for detail and makes sure that customer, supplier and compliance accounts are up-to-the minute and accurate. Paul is everyone’s favourite in the company (well, on payday, anyway). His primary mission is to help Liza make SafeClimb the very best it can be, at everything it does.
When not working at SafeClimb Paul likes to relax (ha!) in his garden and get out for long
walks with his grand-doggies.
