Safespaces (Cornhome)

What Safespaces (Cornhome) does

Safespaces (Cornholme) Limited is a UK-based specialist manufacturer founded in 2000 and headquartered in Todmorden, designing and producing bespoke adaptable sensory spaces and high-sided safety beds for individuals with complex needs — including autism, learning disabilities, epilepsy, and behaviours of concern. The product portfolio is centred on two families: enclosed room solutions (Safespace, Safespace Hi-Lo, Voyager, Voyager Compact) and specialist beds (Siesta, Siesta, Cosyfit, Cosyfit Hi-Lo, and Cosyfit Hi-Lo Profiling), all manufactured in the UK with soft, flexible sides and configurable dimensions. Every product is MHRA-registered as a Class 1 Medical Device, CE/UKCA marked, and produced under ISO 13485 quality management, with complementary sensory accessories (projector sets, fibre optics, soft play shapes) sold separately.

The company operates a sales-led, bespoke-manufacturing model with no public pricing; customers receive quote-based pricing after an Occupational Therapist-led specification process, with manufacturing lead times of 4-6 weeks and total delivery in 8-12 weeks. Its go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales to NHS hospitals, schools, and care/residential facilities in the UK with a network of authorised international distributors covering Ireland, Norway, the Middle East/GCC, the USA, and Australia/New Zealand. The customer base spans five segments — schools, hospitals/NHS, care/residential, healthcare professionals (OTs), and families — and the business sustains itself without external venture funding. The sales motion is reinforced by the Safespaces Academy, a CPD-accredited training platform that builds referral relationships with Occupational Therapists, and by clinical case studies across 40+ NHS hospitals and 1,000+ cumulative families served. Recognition includes the King's Award for Enterprise 2024 (Innovation) and 2025 shortlistings at the BHTA Product of the Year and Medilink Export Achievement awards.
