About me:

I’m Matt, the founder of Spectre Safety Consultants, and someone who believes that the heart of great work—whether in safety, leadership, or relationships—is empathy. I’ve built my career around helping people feel supported, understood, and confident in the environments they work in. Safety isn’t just compliance to me; it’s culture, communication, and genuine care for the people behind the processes.

Before launching Spectre Safety Consultants, I spent years developing a people-first approach to health and safety; one that blends clarity, compassion, and practical solutions that actually work in the real world. I’m detail oriented by nature, creative by instinct, and committed to making complex ideas feel simple and accessible.

Before I began my career in Health & Safety, my professional life looked very different. I spent almost 20 years as a PGA golf professional, competing and working around the world, and I gained enormous satisfaction from helping people develop and improve their game.

An unfortunate self-inflicted injury ultimately changed my career path, but it also gave me clarity on what I wanted to do next. Health & safety felt like a natural progression supporting people, reducing risk, and helping organisations perform at their best.

I started my journey as a Health & Safety Consultant, where I gained hands-on experience working with a wide range of businesses across multiple industries. From plumbers, electricians, and builders to schools, hospitals, and manufacturing environments. I developed a practical understanding of what effective health & safety should look like, not just on paper, but in day-to-day operations.

I later had the opportunity to combine my professional experience with my passion for golf by joining one of the world’s leading golf club manufacturers as their Health, Safety, Environmental, and Compliance Manager. This role allowed me to further develop my skills across multiple disciplines while continuing to focus on people, culture, and achievable standards.

That experience ultimately led to the creation of Spectre Safety Consultants; built on the belief that health & safety should support businesses, not hold them back.

I love building things that feel authentic, whether that’s a brand identity, a story, or a moment that makes someone feel seen.

At the centre of everything I do is a belief that people matter; their stories, their safety, and their wellbeing. My work is simply an extension of that.

If you’re looking for support that’s thoughtful, collaborative, and grounded in real human understanding, you’re in the right place.

Outside of my professional world I thrive on time with family and friends, especially when it involves good food and wine. I also love exploring the world and travelling.
