What Southern Fire Risk Assessments offers:
Built on professionalism and clarity, the team avoids scare tactics or unnecessary costs. Their focus is on clear guidance and trusted advice.
How FOUNDRY helps
Having a base at FOUNDRY Eastbourne has been a key part of the business’s development. “It keeps me focused and motivated,” Dave says. “It is the ideal space to write reports, catch up on admin and stay productive.”
Being around other business owners has also opened doors. A connection with Agency53 led to new branded clothing, helping reinforce the company’s professional image. Weekly wellbeing walks offer a relaxed way to build relationships and provide space to reset.
Why FOUNDRY?
Dave first visited FOUNDRY during its development and knew it was a place he wanted to join. When the time came to go full-time with the business, the choice was easy. “I was looking for a friendly, positive environment and FOUNDRY delivered that. There is a great atmosphere and I have met people I would never normally cross paths with.”
His advice for others:
“Do it. Whether you are just starting out or already established, FOUNDRY gives you the right balance of focus, support and community. It is more than just a co-working space. It is a place to grow your business, meet people and enjoy working again.”
