Having someone who could confidently answer yes or no to safety questions put my mind at ease and let me put the correct actions or equipment in place.
Armour’s property experience was a great fit.

Jamie Grieg, Code Hostels

“Armour carried out fire risk assessment in our range of property developments across southern Scotland. In addition they coordinated the remedial work required to give our buildings the best possible fire risk score.  This comprehensive service removed a huge amount of administrative burden from us. Dene and the team approached this challenge with a real spirit of cooperation and flexibility while at all times conducting themselves with real professionalism. I would have no hesitation recommending Armour to other clients.”

Robert Lee, Charles White

“We have worked closely with Armour for the past five years, and they have been integral to the ongoing management of our clients’ commercial property portfolios across the UK. Dene and his team have integrated seamlessly within our management team, not only to perform annual fire and safety inspections for all of our managed properties, but to work closely with our managers and clients to rectify any issues identified. We look forward to working alongside Armour for many years to come.”

Donald Simpson, Cowiesburn

“We have been partnering with Armour since December 2017 for all our health and safety requirements. They have had an immediate impact on enhancing our business. The staff are extremely knowledgeable and always very responsive to any questions or issues we may have. Their wide range of services and training are at a competitive price too, and we feel that we are receiving extremely good value for money. Armour is a very trusted partner to Cashfac and we would not hesitate to recommend them.”

Carol Slater, Cashfac

“We have found the services provide by Armour to be a great asset to Vasart. Having a dedicated contact with direct access means a consistent level of service. The quality of the work and documents provided gives staff and clients peace of mind that we are compliant with our health and safety procedures. I would not hesitate to recommend Armour as your company’s health and safety representative.”

Andrew Morgan, Vasart Commercial Cleaning

“We have been working with Armour Health and Safety for almost two years now and their service has always been exceptional. Armour’s understanding of our business and culture of our organisation has enabled them to provide us with the most suitable solution for our needs. The Armour team have a depth of knowledge and experience in their field which we find invaluable, knowing that they are just a phone call away. So grateful to have Armour as a partner.”

Kash Bhatti, Property Staffing

“Having carried out a health and safety and fire risk assessment at our old address, we reached out to Armour after we moved into our new premises. Reason being we were impressed with their efficiency/professionalism from before, and as we were feeling stressed (due to post-lockdown recovery), we needed to speak with someone who was friendly and familiar with our business as well. Dene was very communicative, empathetic, understanding, and professional throughout, from the initial enquiry to post-inspection. Highly recommended.”

Phillip Reid, The Melting Pot

“We have used Armour’s services for a year now. Our account manager has listened to our needs and provided us with tailored, cost-effective solutions while also delivering an excellent level of customer care.”

Fay Isaac, Faculty of Advocates

“Matt and Dene at Armour have provided us with a health and safety framework that is easy to follow, that meets the needs of us business, and that allows us to take a sensible, risk-based approach to our health and safety. Their ongoing support makes a difference as we know that we can tap into their knowledge and expertise as and when we need to.”

Caroline Hawksley, The Progeny Group

“We were referred to Armour Risk Consulting by another organisation in our sector and they have certainly met our expectations. Our dedicated Health & Safety Consultant is exceptionally pleasant and knowledgeable, as well as easy to work with. He also clearly explains regulations and legislation and provides practical solutions. I’d highly recommend Armour to others.”

Sian McSorley, Corstorphine Community Centre

“We have worked with Armour Risk Consulting since 2022 and we enjoy working with our dedicated consultant who provides excellent, practical advice and support. He and the team provide us with all the Health & Safety support we need to fully understand legal requirements, and best practice, to keep our guests safe.”

Rupy Varma at Frederick House Hotel

“We were really impressed with the recent training course we received from our dedicated consultant at Armour. The delivery and content was great, it was well-timed and had a great balance between being formal and factual, and informal to allow for discussion.

Our consultant made sure it was relevant to our organisation, which helped to ensure our team were engaged and we now feel we have a solid understanding of our responsibilities as a business. If you are considering upskilling your team, I would highly recommend in-person training with Armour!”

Sian McSorley, Corstorphine Community Centre

“During our time working with Armour, we have developed a fantastic relationship with our dedicated consultant. He has become almost an extended member of our internal team, and we know we can rely on him to guide us safely through any challenges we face around managing our health & safety responsibilities.

He is always glad to answer any questions we have and has gone over and above to make sure we have everything we need in place. We would be glad to recommend Armour and their service to other 3rd sector organisations.”

Cruse Scotland

“Since we came on board with Armour in 2022, we have been really impressed with the support provided by our dedicated Health & Safety Consultant. He has worked extremely hard to make sure we are fully aware of the hazards and risks in our business and supports taking swift action to mitigate these.

If ever we have a question or need some peace of mind, we just get in touch for support, guidance, and reassurance. We would absolutely recommend Armour to other manufacturing businesses who are looking for trusted, reliable, and straightforward health & safety support.”

Evergreen Fashion UK Ltd

“We have worked with  Armour Risk Consulting for the past two years and found them to be very responsive to our health and safety needs, especially around our COMAH duties.

They have designed and implemented additional safety management systems and provided bespoke staff training. We feel they really understand our specific business challenges around safety, which gives us great peace of mind.

We have found them to be engaging and approachable, and we have built a strong and effective relationship with our dedicated Consultant – he is always at the end of the phone if we need him. We would not hesitate in recommending them to other similar businesses.”

Isle of Arran Distillers

“As a Hotel, the safety of our guests and staff are paramount. Having an experienced and qualified Health & Safety Consultant overseeing our safety responsibilities gives us great peace of mind!

Our Consultant can provide us with any fire risk assessments we might need, provides an annual review of all our safety documentation, and can also deliver training to our team, whenever required.

We would certainly recommend Armour to other Hotels who need any Health & Safety support!”

The Royal Scots Club

“Since we began working with Armour in 2022, we have been thoroughly impressed with the level of support provided by our dedicated Health & Safety Consultants.

We have worked with other Health & Safety companies in the past, but our relationship we have with our Consultants at Armour has made all the difference. Their support during major incidents like Storm Eowyn in January 2025 has been outstanding.

The Armour team are genuine, personable and knowledgeable and we would be glad to recommend Armour and their services to other clients in the retail sector.”

Sterling Home

“Armour Risk Consulting have been a real asset to our organisation. From the outset, they took the time to understand how health and safety requirements apply to us in practice, rather than offering generic advice.

They explain regulations clearly and in plain English, which has made it far easier for us to understand our responsibilities and make confident decisions. The solutions they provide are sensible, proportionate and focused on what actually works day to day.

We initially engaged Armour on a project basis, but were so impressed with their approach, ability to build positive working relationships, professionalism and the quality of their work that we moved to a retainer arrangement. What has really stood out is the flexibility of that model – as our needs evolved, Armour were happy to review and adjust the retainer mid-term to ensure it continued to provide the right level of support, rather than forcing us into a one-size-fits-all contract.

Reports and documentation are delivered on time and to a very high standard, and the team are consistently personable, knowledgeable and easy to work with.

We would have no hesitation in recommending Armour Risk Consulting to other organisations looking for practical, trustworthy health and safety support.”
