BRIDGE THE GAP SAFETY LIMITED

What BRIDGE THE GAP SAFETY LIMITED does

Bridge The Gap Safety Limited (trading as BTG Safety) is a privately held health, safety, and wellbeing consultancy headquartered at the Maidstone Innovation Centre in Kent, United Kingdom. Founded in 2018, the firm operates with a team of 1-10 employees and delivers a portfolio of professional services spanning H&S compliance, LOLER-compliant lifting operations, accident investigation, site and risk assessments, fire risk assessments, and employee wellbeing programmes (including stress and pregnancy risk assessments). Its core technology stack is service-led rather than platform-led — there is no proprietary software product, API, or AI capability, and engagements are human-delivered against UK regulations such as the Health and Safety at Work Act, RIDDOR, LOLER, the Work at Height Regulations 2005, and the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.

The business serves primarily the UK construction industry, which accounts for over 80% of its client base, with named customers including GSE Group, Elmcroft Construction, Wilkinsons Construction Consultants, and Forest Group. Additional verticals referenced on the website are manufacturing, agriculture, hospitality, retail, and general SME clients, but these are secondary. Revenue mechanics are built around direct, contact-based consultancy engagements (phone, email, website form) supplemented by an undisclosed 'membership packages' model intended to drive recurring relationships. The company is founder-led by Stephen Leach, whose 15-year military background anchors its safety-and-discipline positioning.

Go-to-market combines content marketing via a company blog and FAQ hub, organic social presence on LinkedIn and Facebook, membership-driven referrals through BNI Invicta, and selective event participation (most notably the Kent Construction Expo in October 2023). Strategic partnerships — particularly the 2024 Fire Protection Association (FPA) membership, which directly enabled its fire risk assessment line — are the primary vector for both capability expansion and brand credibility. The firm has no disclosed external funding, operates within Southeast England as its core geography, and does not currently claim any national or international footprint.
