LONE WORKER GUARDIAN LIMITED

What LONE WORKER GUARDIAN LIMITED does

Lone Worker Guardian Limited is a UK-based safety technology company that operates as a brand of CPR Global Tech Ltd, founded in 2010 by Andrew Sandbrook and headquartered in Swansea, Wales. The company's core offering is the Lone Worker Guardian Safety Watch, a wearable device that combines SOS emergency calling, automatic fall detection (man down alarm), GPS location tracking, heart rate monitoring, and two-way phone calling in a single wrist-worn form factor. The watch connects to a proprietary online monitoring portal and a companion smartphone application that allow employers to remotely view worker locations, receive alerts, and coordinate response when a fall or SOS event is triggered.

The business operates a hybrid revenue model combining one-time hardware sales of the safety watch with a recurring subscription for the monitoring portal. Distribution is multi-channel: own e-commerce storefront (cprguardian.com and loneworkerguardian.com), third-party marketplaces including Amazon and eBay covering Europe, America and Australia, and a direct enterprise sales motion targeting organizations through demos, samples, and pilot programs. The company is also listed on the UK Crown Commercial Services and Procurement for Houses frameworks, opening public-sector and social-housing procurement channels. Customer segments span construction, utilities, security, social care, retail, manufacturing, forestry, transportation, agriculture, healthcare, estate agency, police, and vulnerable-person populations.

The company has accumulated significant recognition, including two Queen's Awards for Enterprise in International Trade (2018 and 2020), a 2019 Stevie Award for Product of the Year, ISO certification, and UK Government endorsement as a leading Assistive Technology provider. Strategic partnerships include Swansea University School of Management for independent product testing and joint white paper research, alongside Welsh Government Business Wales Accelerated Growth Programme support. The company is privately held by its founder with no disclosed external venture capital or private equity backing.
