Rob’s health, safety, and environmental knowledge and experience has been difficult to replace which is why he has continued to support the company with COMAH related issues, such as reviewing and updating the COMAH Safety Reports, since his retirement in 2015. Any task that he undertakes for us in carried out quickly and to a high standard as he understands our products, processes, and the integrated management system, that he helps to maintain, develop, and audit.

This email is to people who I have respected and enjoyed working with. When regulators can truly work in partnership with a company and when real progress can be made towards both a safer and more prosperous business (and the two invariably go together) it is great to be involved. It is this that has made me proud when looking back.

Rob Charlesworth of Orchard HSE came highly recommended to us, and he didn’t disappoint. We’re a family run steel business located in London, specialising in express cut and bent rebar and fabricated structural steel, and we needed help to modernise and overhaul our Quality Systems in line with the latest audit requirements. I found him to be extremely knowledgeable, personable, and importantly he quickly understood our requirements clearly. Rob delivered exactly what we needed, on time and in budget and I can certainly recommend him to industry colleagues. We will continue to engage with him regularly in future.

Here at Minova international, we work closely with Orchard HSE, providing us with competent advice for all issues relating to health, safety, and the environment. Not only that but also, they continue to help develop and maintain our integrated management systems. Rob has a wealth of knowledge and is a big asset to our company, providing us with any relevant information that we require and is always keen to assist. Rob has also provided support for third party audits and is someone I would highly recommend if you need assistance or advice on the above matters.

For a company that operates with a small team, trying to Navigate the requirements of CARES and UKAS was daunting, however with the knowledge and support that Orchard provided it made the process highly efficient allowing the directors of the business to manage their time effectively and have increased confidence and understanding of UKAS and CARES. I would highly recommend! Thanks again.
