Ligtas

What Ligtas does

Ligtas is a Cardiff-headquartered, UK-focused health and safety consultancy and training company founded in 1992, operating through the legal entity Ligtas Consultancy and Training Limited with a wholly-owned subsidiary (Ligtas Services Limited). The firm delivers accredited consultancy across three core service lines — health and safety (compliance audits, risk assessments, competent person support), fire safety (fire risk assessments, compartmentation surveys, evacuation planning), and Legionella risk management — alongside a training portfolio spanning NEBOSH qualifications (National General Certificate, Fire Safety Certificate, Level 6 International Diploma, Construction, HSE Award), IOSH short courses (Managing Safely, Working Safely, Safety for Executives and Directors), and a broad workplace eLearning catalogue covering mental health, food hygiene, and business skills. Two proprietary technology platforms underpin the offering: PropertyPlus (a client-facing property compliance management platform) and an in-house Learning Management System that delivers 12-month course access, real-time dashboards, and certificate storage. Underlying delivery infrastructure combines cloud-based LMS, Microsoft Teams virtual classrooms, and electronic data capture during on-site consultancy visits.

The business operates a hybrid revenue model mixing professional-services retainers (enterprise consultancy with dedicated account management), per-delegate transactional training bookings (NEBOSH at £495-£1,695+VAT, IOSH at £109-£700+VAT), and 12-month tiered eLearning subscriptions (Gold, Silver, Bronze). Distribution spans direct online self-serve for individuals and SMBs, enterprise account management for multi-site organisations, virtual and classroom delivery, and bespoke in-company training programmes that integrate client policies and procedures. Customers are primarily UK property management firms, facilities management providers, and manufacturers, supplemented by housing providers and individual learners. Differentiators include NEBOSH Gold Learning Partner status, IOSH 'Outstanding' provider recognition (2025), a deep accreditation stack (BAFE, Legionella Control Association, Constructionline Gold, ISO 9001/14001/27001/45001, SafeContractor, Cyber Essentials), and a long-tenured workforce including former HSE Enforcement Officers. The company is privately held and founder-led, with no external institutional funding disclosed.

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• Praxis42: UK specialist health & safety eLearning provider with strong NEBOSH/IOSH digital delivery capabilities; narrower focus than Ligtas but represents the digital-first threat in the open-enrollment course segment.

Direct peers

• Shield Safety Group: UK fire safety and health & safety consultancy offering risk assessments, training, and compliance services; directly overlaps with Ligtas's fire risk assessment and competency training portfolio.
• Astutis: UK-based NEBOSH and IOSH training provider offering very similar qualifications (General Certificate, Fire Safety, Level 6 Diploma) with online and live virtual formats; directly competes with Ligtas for the same occupational safety learner pool.
• RRC International: Established UK and international NEBOSH/IOSH training and consultancy provider with comparable accreditation tiers; competes head-to-head with Ligtas on open-enrollment and in-company training, and overlaps on management system consultancy.
• Cardinus: UK-based provider of ergonomics, health & safety, and risk management consultancy and training; similar vertical mix (property, FM, workplace) and comparable mid-market customer base.

Broad incumbents

• Citation: Large UK provider of health & safety, HR, and employment law consultancy to SMEs and mid-market; broader offering than Ligtas and not training-led, but competes for the same compliance budgets.
• Peninsula: UK-wide consultancy combining employment law, HR, and health & safety services to SMEs; broader service portfolio and larger scale than Ligtas, but directly comparable in the H&S compliance bundle.
• British Safety Council: Long-standing UK chartered body that delivers its own portfolio of health and safety training and qualifications, alongside advisory and audit services; broader institution with a different funding model but overlapping training and consultancy customers.
