Saltire Home Office Assessments was set up by myself, Alex MacDonald, in March 2010.

 

I had previously worked for Scottish Widows Sales Operations as their Health & Safety Manager, carrying out over 500 home office assessments for sales advisors all over the UK, from Inverurie to Truro, helping to improve their comfort and productivity as a result.

 

As part of my ongoing training and development in the role, I was awarded the NEBOSH National General Certificate in Occupational Health & Safety in 2006 and took the Posturite Display Screen Equipment Workstation Assessor and Advanced DSE Assessors courses in 2008 and 2009 respectively. These courses gave me an excellent understanding of what works best with a workstation and home office set-up, especially where space is limited.

 

Prior to joining Sales Division, I worked within Facilities Management and International Division throughout a 19 year career with Lloyds TSB Group.

 

As part of the Lloyds TSB/HBOS integration, voluntary redundancy was offered to staff, which I applied for and was granted in December 2009.

 

By setting up Saltire, I felt it was a perfect opportunity to continue with a role and function that I was passionate about and to provide companies with a service that would help to ensure that their home workers were as safe and as comfortable as possible.
