Health & Safety Works Ltd – Ownership Transition Announcement

Apr 1, 2025

After 25 successful years, Health & Safety Works Ltd is undergoing a change of ownership. Our founder, David Oates, will be retiring on 31st March and we are pleased to announce that Dr William Lai will be stepping in as the new director.

William brings a wealth of expertise to the business, with experience in biosciences research, academic course design and lecturing, and health & safety in the utilities space (generation, T&D, construction, sustainability). We are confident that this change will help drive the company forward, with minimal impact on the professional services we currently offer. Dave will continue to be part of the company, serving as an honorary ​consultant to HSW Ltd. We hope you will all take this opportunity, with us, to wish him all the best in this new chapter.

Additionally, we were excited to welcome Danielle Thorburn as one of our health & safety consultants several months ago. For those who haven’t met Danielle yet, Danielle specializes in biosafety and GMO health & safety, further enhancing our capabilities, together with our experienced team of consultants Laura Tull, Richard Morgan and Wendy Grocock.

Details of our professional services and team can be found at: About HSW Ltd
