What Sayfa Group does

Sayfa Group (Europe) Ltd is a privately held UK manufacturer of height safety and facade access systems, headquartered in Shepshed, Leicestershire, trading under multiple sub-brands including SayfaGuard, SayfaMove, FallSecure, EdgeSeil, EdgeReil, AirDeck, and RhinoDeck. The company researches, designs, tests, and manufactures products ranging from horizontal safety lines, davit arms, track-mounted davits, abseil rails, guardrails, walkways, and mobile access equipment, constructed from 6082-T6 structural aluminium and 316/A4 stainless steel for marine and corrosive environments. Products are tested to BS8610:2017, EN795:2012, BS13700:2021, BS7883:2019, and PAS 59, with three patent-pending proprietary systems and nearly £250,000 invested in in-house testing infrastructure including test plinths, drop dummies, and independent third-party SATRA certification.

The company serves construction, manufacturing, and utility sectors, with primary buyer personas including architects, consultants, IRATA rope access contractors, and house builders. Revenue is generated through three streams: hardware sales via direct sales, the company website store, and the NBS specification platform; expert design consultancy services underwritten by £5m Professional Indemnity and £10m Products Liability insurance; and LOLER Regulation 9.3 inspection and proof load testing services. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise account management led by a dedicated Business Account Manager, specifications-driven distribution through NBS, an approved contractor network (Sayfa+) whose installation extends warranty to 60 years, and presence at industry events such as HSM Live.

The company operates with approximately 17-20+ direct employees and a supply chain engaging around 1,000 workers across the UK and Europe. It holds BSIF Registered Safety Supplier status, ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 certifications, IRATA and Made in Britain membership, and is the named registered entity Sayfa Group (Europe) Ltd (Company No. 11268889). Recent product launches include the FallSecure Safety Post (March 2023) and the D-Ring anchor point (June 2025), with all operations currently confined to the United Kingdom market.
