  • Bringing the Irish charm to the sometimes-challenging world of Health & Safety! - With Eddie Doherty
    Feb 14 2024

    Scrap all your preconceptions about Health & Safety professionals.  Eddie is nothing like you imagine them to be!

    Eddie was in the construction industry for 20+ years, but when his knees gave up (his words), he decided that he needed a change.  And that change was Health & Safety.  With a long career in the construction industry, Eddie was used to dealing with all kinds of people and working on active and challenging sites… all skills needed for Health & Safety.

    Since entering the world of Health & Safety. Eddie hasn’t stopped working.  He has been lucky enough to work on Expo 2020 Dubai, Commonwealth Games Birmingham 2022, FIFA Fan Festival in Doha, Wrestling AEW Wembley Stadium, Manchester Gay Pride 2023 and so many more.

    Eddie is all about the team – understanding the onsite client team and supporting them.  And most importantly building rapport with the supplier, contractor or exhibitor, sometimes these can be the trickiest to handle.

    We guarantee you will want Eddie on your next event!
