Harrogate Springboard Project
It is a good thing that we at SOA Safety enjoy a
challenge. The conversion of Wesley Chapel House, a 3 storey
Victorian residential building in central Harrogate, into a modern
drop-in support centre with amenities to help vulnerable and homeless
people, was just that.It is a good thing that we at SOA Safety enjoy a

“Until this project, the
building had always been a private residence and modern standard health
and safety practices had never been applied. It was like
starting from scratch but with the challenge of achieving the right
level of safety at minimum cost and disruption. We presented
options and through discussions with the management team identified the
best fit for their needs. This was so important because any
unnecessary expense or disruption would impact directly on the critical
services being provided to people in real need of support. We are very
proud to have contributed to the fantastic work being done by Liz and
the team. Jim Lynch (SOA Safety Engineering Director).
