Experience built where decisions matter

Endeavour was established following extensive work in environments where safety failures carried real consequences and decisions were revisited long after they were made.

That experience now sits behind the way the business operates, from fire safety work in occupied buildings to training and safety case support.

Much of the work takes place in settings where buildings remain in use, information is rarely complete and decisions still have to be taken. Clients come to Endeavour at points where responsibility is already in place and clarity matters.

The emphasis is on work that holds together under pressure, stands up to scrutiny and can be relied on when matters are not straightforward.

Based in Ormskirk, Endeavour works with clients across the UK and supports international learners through structured remote delivery.

Practitioners, not presenters

The Endeavour team includes specialists in fire safety, training, quality assurance and technical delivery.

Training is delivered and assessed by practitioners who work across consultancy and compliance projects, bringing current operational experience into every programme. This keeps learning closely tied to the environments and responsibilities learners are working within.

James is a highly focused and experienced risk management professional, specialising in process safety and fire engineering. With over two decades of experience in high-hazard industries, he has a strong track record of improving safety performance and solving complex challenges.

As Director of Endeavour Group, he provides consultancy and safety and fire risk management training. James is the author of the Level 5 Diploma in Fire Safety and Risk Management and has provided technical guidance on the creation of the Level 2 Award in Rainscreen Cladding Installation.

His offshore oil and gas career includes multiple subject matter expert roles covering process and fire safety engineering. He has regularly attended the International Fire Training Centre for intensive fire leadership training and has completed extensive emergency command and control assessments.

Since 2013, James has played a key role within the British Safety Council, supporting areas such as the technical management of the NVQ programme, auditing, and exam moderation. He has also served as a panel adjudicator for the prestigious BSC International Safety Awards on multiple occasions. Career highlights include working on the well-known Piper Bravo production platform and developing a cumulative risk management strategy for Maersk.

James holds respected memberships with the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH) and the Institution of Fire Engineers (IFE) as part of his ongoing professional development.

James’ expertise and leadership drive Endeavour Group’s success, ensuring the highest safety and fire risk management standards.

Kerry built a career working at a high level in clerical and administrative roles across various sectors before joining Endeavour Group.

Her professional background includes roles in the NHS, where she served as PA to the Associate Director of Nursing, Modern Matron and the Head of Psychology. She also gained valuable experience in training and development at BPP Professional Education, where her responsibilities included qualification registration, standardisation, and invigilation.

Following her early career, Kerry decided to follow her passion for animals and successfully ran several animal-related businesses. However, as Endeavour Group grew, she gradually increased her involvement with the company.

In 2019, Kerry recognised the company’s potential and needs and decided to join full-time as Operations Manager. Her administrative expertise, organisational skills, and business knowledge have since helped her advance to her current role as Operations Director.

Kerry’s adaptability and business insight make her an invaluable part of Endeavour Group’s continued success.

Harry has been part of the Endeavour Group team for seven years, bringing valuable experience from his previous role as a railway safety engineer. His extensive practical knowledge and expertise have made him an integral part of our quality assurance team, and he appreciates the flexibility his position offers, allowing him to balance professional responsibilities with personal interests.

Born and raised in Carlisle, Cumbria, Harry enjoys spending his time outside of work walking, mostly with his dog by his side, gemstone hunting and collecting, and following sports. If there’s a sport on, Harry will usually be found watching it.

Harry is a proud father to one daughter and stepson, whom he loves spending time with.

Ben joined the team two years ago and brings 15 years of industry experience. His professional background includes railway work, health and safety consultancy, and in-house roles for a care and construction company.

Ben is also an Internal Quality Assurer at Endeavour Group, ensuring all assessors are regulated and assessments are conducted in line with best practices.

With an MSc in Occupational Health, Safety, and Environmental Management, Ben is particularly interested in understanding human psychology and behaviour. He’s always puzzled by why people can’t resist touching wet paint!

Born in Gibraltar, Ben grew up in various locations due to his father’s military career. This early exposure to different environments sparked his adventurous spirit, translating to a love of warm-water scuba diving, kayaking, and motorbike adventures. When he’s not on the move, Ben enjoys woodworking projects that allow him to create with his hands.

A family man with four children ranging from 25 to 10 years old, Ben balances work and family life while making time for his hobbies. When he can find a quiet moment (which isn’t often), he also enjoys reading.

Ben’s interesting fact is that he previously studied nursing, while all he really wanted to do was paddle a kayak around the world – a dream he hasn’t given up on yet.

Born in Kirkby where he spent his first 12 years, Elliot now calls Aughton home. When he’s not working or studying, he enjoys taking his track car to track days, putting his knowledge and skills to practical use.

Elliot’s combination of practical experience, technical qualifications, and genuine enthusiasm makes him a valued team member.
