Geoff Northey - Independent Consultant, Former Group H&S Advisor, Altro Group Ltd

"We have been working with Validate Consulting Ltd since 2011 and have found that they provide a professional service, 1st class reports, and ongoing support and advice."

The Safety Health and Environmental Team, Heatrae Sadia

"I’ve been using Validate Consulting for air and noise sampling for a number of years now, and during this time they have always provided my organisation with clear concise information and advice on all sampling they have undertaken on my behalf, Validate Consulting have always been quick to react to our needs and I would say their service has always been second to none, this feeling is reinforced further as we are a global organisation and now use them across our other manufacturing facilities."

EHS Manager, Aerospace Engine Manufacturer in the South West

"Validate have always been professional, understanding and helpful, they have provided solutions to improve our working environment for many of our employees. They have helped us with updates in legislation and specifically with onsite assessments in COSHH, Noise and LEV testing. No question is too much trouble, we look forward to an ongoing relationship and I would definitely recommend their services."
