Your business support should work around your business.

No two SMEs are exactly the same — and their support should not be either.

Some businesses need an outsourced HR department. Others may need help with a specific employment law issue, management training or support getting their health & safety processes in order.

Forrest Group brings HR, Employment Law, Training and Health & Safety expertise together, providing flexible support designed around the needs and size of each organisation.

Whatever stage your business is at, you do not have to manage everything alone.

When did you last review your risk assessments?

Risk assessments should not simply be completed once and forgotten about.
As your business changes, your risks can change too.

New equipment, different working practices, new premises or changes to your team can all mean an existing assessment needs to be revisited.

Regular reviews help businesses identify potential risks, protect employees and maintain sensible health & safety management. Forrest Health & Safety provides practical support across workplace safety, fire safety, risk assessments and wider compliance.

Important Update – Employment Rights Act: Trade Unions

The new duty for employers to inform workers of their right to join a trade union was due to come into force on 30 October 2026.

This has now been moved to 1 January 2027, giving employers additional time to prepare.

We’ll continue to keep you updated as further guidance becomes available.
