What Stockwell Safety does

Stockwell Safety is a UK-based, privately-held health and safety training provider founded in 2011 and headquartered in Northwich, Cheshire. The company delivers accredited, industry-recognised qualifications across three certification frameworks: NEBOSH (Gold Learning Partner status), IOSH (Approved Training Provider), and PWTAG (Approved Training Organisation). Its core product is a portfolio of online courses — including NEBOSH National and International General Certificates, IOSH Managing Safely and Working Safely, and a niche set of PWTAG-aligned Pool Plant Operator, Revalidation, and Foundation courses — supplemented by adjacent compliance courses (Fire Marshal, Asbestos Awareness, COSHH, DSE Risk Assessor) and a free Risk Assessment lead-magnet course. A proprietary Learning Management System (stockwellsafetylms.com) hosts the catalogue and supports self-paced interactive delivery with video modules, drag-and-drop exercises, and a third-party Chatbase-powered AI tutor chatbot. Stockwell Safety runs a dual go-to-market: a self-serve, product-led e-commerce motion for individuals (with referral incentives up to 100% off) and a sales-led motion for organisations featuring group licensing dashboards, discounted bulk seats, on-site training delivery for pool plant and IOSH Managing Safely courses, and bespoke corporate engagements. The company is bootstrapped (no disclosed funding, parent, or acquisitions), operates with 1-10 employees, and has cumulatively trained 6,000+ pool plant operators since inception.
