Vector Safety Consulting was established to provide independent, credible safety and risk assurance to organisations operating in complex, safety-critical environments.

The consultancy is led by a senior safety professional with vast experience working across high-hazard, regulated operations, supporting organisations through periods of change, scrutiny, and increasing operational complexity. This experience spans the full safety lifecycle, from system design and implementation through to operational assurance, investigation, and continuous improvement.

Vector Safety Consulting specialises in supporting organisations operating within the Channel Islands, bringing a deep understanding of the unique socio-technical structures, governance arrangements, and operational realities associated with working in small, highly interconnected jurisdictions. This includes an appreciation of the close coupling between regulators, operators, senior leaders, and front-line personnel, and the practical challenges this creates for safety governance, assurance, and independent oversight.

Having held senior leadership roles accountable for safety, risk, and compliance within this environment, the consultancy brings first-hand experience of operating at the interface between regulators, executive leadership, and operational teams. This includes sustained engagement with a wide range of national and international regulatory bodies, supporting compliance, approvals, audits, and regulatory assurance across multiple jurisdictions.

The consultancy combines strong technical foundations in systems engineering with advanced expertise in safety management, governance, and assurance. This enables a pragmatic, systems-based approach to understanding risk — recognising how organisational, human, technical, and regulatory factors interact in real-world operations. Core strengths include safety management system design, safety case development, hazard identification and risk assessment, independent assurance, and the investigation of complex events.

Vector Safety Consulting operates across domains and disciplines, providing objective, proportionate, and defensible safety advice that supports informed decision-making rather than compliance for its own sake. The focus is on helping organisations understand their risk exposure, strengthen governance, and demonstrate assurance with confidence — whether to regulators, boards, or external stakeholders.

Above all, Vector Safety Consulting is grounded in the belief that effective safety management is not about paperwork or process alone, but about clarity, competence, and leadership within complex socio-technical systems.
