Founded in 2007, SDS is a leading firm focused on safety consulting, inspection, confined space rescue, and training, working with clients to ensure compliance with Ministry of Labour requirements.

“Safety consulting businesses have typically either been region-based or single-service-based. With the increased importance around safety as a core business driver and the corporate focus on environmental, social and governance (ESG) principles, we see a strong opportunity to integrate a historically fragmented industry and make it more inclusive to better serve the client base,” said Mark Ferrier, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of &Capital.

SafetyCo is a customer-focused company bringing safety services to better serve the demands of its clients, which typically include both public and private sector organizations in the industrial development, infrastructure, education, and commercial and residential real estate sectors. Partnering with SafetyCo offers value-added services for health and safety industry entrepreneurs and management teams, including shared back-office functions and software, cross-selling opportunities, business optimization through data analytics, and access to a growth network; ultimately allowing entrepreneurs to focus their energy on doing more of the work they enjoy.

“I’ve been in the safety consulting business for over 15 years and have witnessed the challenges and fragmentation that exists. I believe there is a huge opportunity to provide better and more consolidated services, and I see a growing need over the next 10 years as the demand for trained workers increases,” said Bill Glover, President of Safety Design Strategies.

“I have been looking for the right partner to help SDS meet the growing demand for safety services. I’m excited about the resources and passion the &Capital team brings to the table. I look forward to seeing the value we can unlock together in this multi-decade growth opportunity, and to delivering services that translate into safer work environments for our growing client base,” added Bill.
