Helping The Health and Safety Group scale its operations

Challenge

Having claimed R&D tax relief for several years, the Health and Safety Group’s SIC code placed it under HMRC scrutiny. Although confident its claim was legitimate, and backed up by detailed record-keeping, a compliance check took it into unknown territory.

Value

R&D tax relief enabled the business to move farther and faster in developing the system, investing time and resources that might not otherwise have been possible. ForrestBrown’s support helped the Health and Safety Group respond to HMRC’s questions with confidence.

Impact

The Health and Safety Group’s journey highlights the importance of innovation and the role of R&D tax relief in supporting business growth. With ForrestBrown’s assistance, they were able to navigate HMRC enquiries successfully and continue to invest in their future.

About The Health and Safety Group

The Health and Safety Group is one of the leading providers for healthcare training across the UK. With over 45 venues and 70+ trainers, it offers comprehensive training solutions to healthcare professionals. The business’s innovative approach and commitment to excellence has positioned it as a key player in the healthcare training sector.

The Health and Safety Group faced significant challenges due to the complexity and scale of its operations. Managing trainer availability, course scheduling, and invoicing manually was time-consuming. To address these challenges, The Health and Safety Group invested in developing an advanced admin system, which became the central engine of its operations. This system automated various administrative tasks, including trainer allocation, invoicing, reporting and debt management. 

The implementation of the system had a transformative impact on The Health and Safety Group, creating efficiencies, providing real-time tracking for financial management, and enabling the business to scale more effectively.

Client reflection

“The R&D tax relief we claimed with ForrestBrown’s help was instrumental in developing the system which has become the backbone of our operations. Without it, we wouldn’t have been able to invest the necessary resources into this transformational project.”
