Discovery Day with BastockFirth

Yesterday we spent a fab day down at Dumbleton Hall nr Evesham. We were invited to a 'Discovery Day' by our business colleagues at BastockFirth to give us a chance to experience one of their team leadership and motivational days, first hand.

The day itself gave us a superb insight into the whole BastockFirth experience whilst also giving us the chance to network with other business contacts. Dumbleton Hall itself is in a beautiful location and definately a place that we will consider using as a future training venue.

As part of the day we had chance to sample some of the various team building activities such as 'Get Knotted' and 'Roll Out the Barrel', pictures of these can be found on the BastockFirth website.

It was great to see how Nick and Eddie work as a team and the whole day had a very organised and professional feel to it. The whole experience has given us some great new ideas for our own training packages. We'll certainly be recommending the BastockFirth philosophy to our own clients.

Health & Safety Expo

We attended the Health & Safety Expo at the NEC, Birmingham on Thurs 15th May. Great event but have to say, we expected a little more in the way of practical demonstrations.

The HSE were in attendance with their usual stand and gave us some great info on a new addition to their website coming shortly. The new section is an interactive tool to help identify hazards in the workplace. We look forward to this new tool being available to use.

New beginnings with Halesowen College

After recent talks, Progressive Safety Solutions Ltd. are please to announce their new venture in conjunction with Halesowen College. This will enable the College to offer many more Health & Safety based courses including IOSH, CIEH and Nebosh training.

The working partnership kicks off with a seminar delivered by Paul Griffiths on the much publicised Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007. This will take place at the Halesowen College e-business centre on Wednesday 16th July, 2008 as part of their ongoing breakfast club meetings.
