About SafeServe Group

Built around the room the training happens in.

SafeServe Group exists for one reason: workplace compliance training is too important — and too varied — to be delivered by generalists reading from generic slide decks. Here's the full structure behind the name.

Our story

From one room to nationwide.

SafeServe started where most good training providers start: in a single room with a single instructor, teaching first aid to local businesses across Cambridgeshire and the South East. The feedback was the same on every course — "That's the first training session that's actually felt useful."

The reason was simple. Small groups. Scenarios shaped around the room. Instructors with real-world experience rather than read-it-from-the-deck delivery. We took that approach, refined it, and started applying it to other disciplines — and to the Course Directory that now sits at the front of this site, helping other trainers get found too.

SafeServe Group is the parent company. It owns and runs SafeServe First Aid, SafeServe Kitchen and SafeServe Solutions directly, and coordinates a UK-wide network of freelance accredited trainers for health & safety, fire marshal, mental health and other disciplines, all under one quality bar and one point of contact.

Founder, SafeServe Group

Andrew built SafeServe out of frustration with tick-box training. He runs the group, instructs first aid courses personally, and curates the freelance roster that delivers across the UK.

The structure

One parent company, five moving parts.

Three brands we own and run directly, a UK-wide freelance trainer network, and a self-paced eLearning portal — all coordinated under SafeServe Group.

Our brands

Three brands we own and run ourselves.

Each has its own site, its own booking system and its own team. Two are training. One is different on purpose.

National freelancer network

Beyond our brands, a UK-wide network of trainers.

Health & safety, fire marshal and mental health training aren't run as separate SafeServe-branded businesses. They're delivered by a vetted network of accredited freelance trainers that SafeServe Group coordinates on your behalf.

And others: if you need a discipline that isn't listed here, ask us — or browse the Course Directory for independent trainers running their own courses nearby.

Also available

Self-paced eLearning, for building knowledge.

This is not in-person training

Our eLearning is a self-paced online knowledge library, delivered in partnership with eLearn Here Direct. It's a tool for building understanding, useful between practical sessions or for refresher learning. It does not replace the accredited hands-on training delivered by SafeServe First Aid, SafeServe Kitchen, or our freelancer network.

Twenty approved online courses.

IATP, CPD, IIRSM, IFE, ILM and IOSH-approved courses across first aid, fire, food safety and health & safety knowledge topics, completed on any device with a certificate at the end.

What we stand for

Four principles, across everything we offer.

Small groups

Most courses cap at 8 learners by default. Every learner gets hands-on time and personal feedback — no auditorium-style sessions.

Domain experts, not generalists

SafeServe First Aid and SafeServe Kitchen each have their own instructor pool. Our freelance network is vetted the same way: health & safety trainers come from industry, fire trainers come from the fire service, mental health trainers hold relevant clinical or MHFA accreditation.

Scenarios shaped around your room

We don't read from a script. We ask what your workplace looks like, what's likely to go wrong there, and design the practical elements around that.

One contact, every discipline

Big organisations don't want a separate vendor for every discipline. SafeServe Group operates as one point of contact across our own brands and our freelancer network — one quote, one invoice, one renewal reminder system.

The legal bit

Who we are, formally.

SafeServe Group is the parent company. It owns and runs SafeServe First Aid at safeservefirstaid.co.uk, SafeServe Kitchen at safeservekitchen.com, and SafeServe Solutions at safeservesolutions.co.uk directly. Health & safety, fire marshal, mental health and other disciplines are delivered through a UK-wide network of freelance accredited trainers, coordinated by SafeServe Group under the same insurance and quality standards.
