What TRAC Associates does

TRAC Associates Limited is a UK-based asbestos consultancy founded in 2011 and headquartered in Bury with a southern office in East Molesey. The firm provides end-to-end asbestos risk management services to commercial, public-sector, and infrastructure clients, including management, refurbishment, and demolition surveys; UKAS ISO/IEC 17025-accredited air monitoring and four-stage clearance certification; project management of remedial works; bespoke risk management policies and management plans; and UKATA-accredited asbestos awareness training. Its technical platform is the proprietary web-based Asbestos Database Portal, which hosts live asbestos registers, survey photos, air monitoring records, training certificates, and contractor access permissions on a building-by-building, floor-by-floor, room-by-room basis.

The firm operates across the UK with project-led reach into the Channel Islands and continental Europe, supported by a team of approximately 50 qualified professionals including BOHS P402 surveyors, P403/P404 air analysts, and P401 laboratory analysts. Its accreditation stack — UKAS Type C Inspection Body (ISO/IEC 17020:2012), UKAS ISO/IEC 17025:2017, ISO 9001/14001/45001, NORAC, RISQS, Achilles UVDB, FORS Silver, Constructionline, SafeContractor, Cyber Essentials Plus, and UKATA — functions as the primary barrier to entry and qualifies TRAC for framework agreements with major institutional clients.

TRAC's revenue model is fee-based professional services: project-priced surveys, per-engagement analytical testing, per-delegate training, and per-project consultancy. Revenue is generated through direct enterprise field sales supported by framework agreements with bodies including four universities, NHS Shared Buying Services, Network Rail, Transport for London, and Jersey Electricity. Notable disclosed contract values include £1.8m (Jersey Electricity, La Collette Power Station), £1.2m (Vinci Construction, BHS/Co-op Hull demolition), and £76k (Procter & Gamble, West Thurrock). The company remains privately held by founder Josh DeWitt with no external funding rounds or acquisitions disclosed.
