 IAN PICKARD
My name is Ian Pickard and I am the man behind the IDP in our company name, which means the buck stops with me!
I’ve been in the construction industry for nearly forty years. I started my career when I left college as a bricklayer with a small general building company and due to the recession I found myself having to retrain as a plant operator with McCarthy & Stone driving Telehandler Forklifts before moving on to Tower Cranes. I then became a Setting Out Engineer and at the same time is started an ONC in Construction at Brighton College to further my career. I joined a local family-run company and worked in various roles as Setting Out Engineer, Finishing Foreman and Site Manager. This company gave me the opportunity to follow my passion in training in various categories of Plant and Plant equipment. After working for four years as a Maintenance Manager and Plant Instructor they realised the financial benefit of setting up a Plant Training School. I trained with CITB in the role of a Plant Instructor and our new Plant & Health Safety Training department took off and the list of training courses that I could deliver expanded. I was lucky that the company also paid for me to do my NEBOSH General and Construction certificates. I stayed for a further two years developing the health & safety and plant training. I then joined a Midlands based health & safety consultancy whose main customers were some of the UK’s leading house builders including Wimpey, Barrett’s and Charles Church. I gained experience of Site Inspections and Accidents Investigations as well as being a member of several safety forums with George Wimpey and leading the training for new site manager’s procedures. In 2002 I took the plunge and set up IDP Safety Services with support from my wife Lisa who at the time was developing her career as a marketing director. We now run the company and enjoy a good reputation with local and national businesses. Over the years, we have won a loyal following because we don't cut corners. We use proven training techniques to guarantee your staff are trained properly so that you can be sure they are working safely, thus protecting yourself, your staff and your customers from the risks that can be associated with the services you provide and ensures you stand out as a quality business.
