    Main activity

    Project Shield is an award-winning company specialising in consultancy and training for the safeguarding of children and adults at risk providing cost effective solutions for safeguarding the workforce and promoting changes for a safer culture and safer working practices.

    Shield is a leader in its field offering a one-stop shop to bring change and compliance that promotes culturally safer organisations.

    Shield works with clients regionally, nationally and internationally including third sector organisations, housing associations, private hospitals, dentists, public sector and private organisations.

    Training and Consultancy services can be delivered face to face or virtually face to face. Consultancy services include comprehensive safeguarding reviews and audits, writing bespoke policy and procedures as well as safeguarding packages that include independent advice and guidance.

    The owner has decided to take a step back from the business and pursue a different career path. To facilitate this, they have established a strong second tier management team so that the business can continue to operate in the future. The business operates with minimal involvement of the vendor.

    Shield would make a valuable addition for any organisation working in the same or related fields, with considerable growth potential resulting from its excellent reputation and strong brand.

    Key highlights and opportunities

    • Well established business with an excellent reputation for quality and exceptional customer service.
    • Established senior management team handling all day-to-day operations with very limited input from the current owner.
    • Significant network of associate trainers and consultants with a wide range of skills and experience.
    • Excellent blue-chip client base.

    The business experienced a slight dop in revenue and underlying profitability owing to an internal restructuring project of both employees and business processes and operations. It is forecast to return to levels seen in FY23 and early management accounts indicate progression towards this goal.
