Eurosafe Solutions are the market leader in the design, supply and installation of be- spoke access systems and fall protection.
Pioneering, innovative design, and use of market leading fall protection and access equipment, allows us to develop tailored solutions across all sectors, from commer- cial, leisure, retail and residential properties; large scale, aviation, healthcare and stadia developments; to the complex and often unique environments of the industrial, utili- ties and energy sectors.
The service we give our clients goes well beyond just selling them equipment, and in- cludes carrying out risk assessments, advis- ing on the control of those risks identified, then designing and installing systems to al- low our clients to implement these controls.
We then provide an annual testing and inspection service, as well as comprehensive end user training, completing a full 360-de- gree circle of safety to ensure that our clients are fully compliant to all legislative require- ments.
Eurosafe Solutions started in an attic bed- room in Neth Edge Sheffield on the first day of the new millennium and has grown to a se- ries of companies based in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany.
We are now Europe’s biggest provider of installed fall protection equipment, turn- ing over in excess of €25 million with more than 300 employees. Eurosafe has gone from strength to strength.

Central Technology
Sponsored by The Sheffield College
CT provides proactive managed IT services for businesses that need stability, strong net- works and business continuity.
We specialise in IT services which en- hance business processes and our unique partnership approach ensures our offering is aligned with business objectives right from the outset.
As a business we have tried exception- ally hard to be a good, if not a great employer. We are a 50-strong team, and as we grow, we know we need to offer all employees a place they want to come to work, a place where they can have a voice, support and impor- tantly progress in their career.
We have invested heavily into creating a great working environment together with an events room where the team can meet, interact and train with customers and cli- ents alike and break out areas with a pool table and PS4 zone.
We have enlisted the Fitness Truck, a Mo- bile Fitness Solutions company, which offers HIT training to any of our staff who wants to get involved once a week. Come rain or shine this is open to anyone who wants to push their fitness to the next level.
We also wanted to raise the awareness of mental and physical health of our workplace. A personal tragedy was the driving factor behind CT introducing ‘Champion Health’ and we were the first business in Sheffield to roll it out.

Going in to 2015 the Pryor board of di- rectors featured incredible experience and talent, with the three operational directors having 86 years’ service at the company be- tween them. At that point the decision was made to bring in a sales director from the au- tomotive sector, who was tasked with chang- ing the culture of the sales organisation and driving the growth of the business.
Over the four financial years since then Alastair has transformed sales and spear- headed two strategic initiatives that have contributed to a 45 per cent growth in prof- itable sales and the company’s highest turno- ver in its 170-year history.
