Phoenix Health and Safety

Phoenix Health & Safety is a UK-based provider of health, safety, and environmental (HSE) training and consultancy services. Founded in 2005 by Nick Higginson, the company started at his kitchen table and has since grown to become a prominent provider in the sector. In October 2024, Phoenix Health & Safety was acquired by Wilmington plc, a company specializing in data, information, education, and training for the global Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) markets, for an initial cash consideration of £30.25 million. Nick Higginson remains the Managing Director, retaining operational control of the business post-acquisition.

The company serves a diverse client base, from individuals to global blue-chip corporations like Amazon and Sytner Group, offering internationally recognized qualifications. Its business model revolves around providing a comprehensive portfolio of over 50 accredited training courses. These are delivered through various formats including e-learning, virtual classrooms via Zoom, in-person classroom sessions at over 30 UK training centers, and in-house training at client premises. Key course offerings include certifications from the National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health (NEBOSH), the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH), and the Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment (IEMA).

In addition to training, Phoenix Health & Safety offers a suite of consultancy services. These include providing competent health & safety advisors, creating tailored policies, conducting risk assessments, and performing health and safety audits and inspections. The firm holds 'Gold' learning partner status with NEBOSH and 'Outstanding' status with IOSH, reflecting its high training standards. A notable feature is the 'Phoenix Pass Pledge', which allows candidates who do not pass their exams to continue studying free of charge.
