South Staffordshire Group recognised for health and safety excellence at the RoSPA 70th anniversary awards

South Staffordshire Group, based in Walsall, has received a prestigious RoSPA Award, demonstrating its commitment to the highest standards in accident prevention. South Staffordshire Group won a Gold Award in the Occupational Achievement Sector, demonstrating its dedication to keeping employees, contractors and clients safe at work.

2026 marks the 70th anniversary of the RoSPA Awards, which began as a small event to recognise the achievements of companies prioritising the safety of workers in UK, and has now grown into the biggest and most prestigious health and safety awards programme in the world, with the 2026 awards attracting 2,000 different entries from nearly 60 countries.

Charley Maher, Group CEO at South Staffordshire Group said:

“We are very proud to receive a RoSPA Gold Award, recognising our strong internal systems for managing critical safety risks and keeping our people safe, while giving our clients confidence that they are partnering with a Group that prioritises both risk management and workforce engagement to deliver results.”

Julia Small, RoSPA’s Growth Director, said:

“RoSPA congratulates South Staffordshire Group on their RoSPA Health and Safety Award. The high standards South Staffordshire Group has achieved are the result of hard work and dedication, of which South Staffordshire Group should be rightfully proud and which RoSPA is delighted to honour. 2026 is a landmark year for the RoSPA Awards as we reflect on how far workplace safety has come in 70 years. It is because of the commitment of health and safety leaders like South Staffordshire Group that people today are safer at work than in the past and sets an inspiring example for the future.”

The RoSPA Awards are sponsored by the National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health (NEBOSH), a leading global organisation, which provides internationally recognised health, safety and environmental qualifications that raise the competence of safety and environmental professionals as well as individuals at all levels in the workplace.

Dee Arp, NEBOSH Chief Quality Officer and the Head Judge of the RoSPA Awards, said:

“NEBOSH is proud to be the headline sponsor of the RoSPA Awards. They provide an opportunity to celebrate excellence in health and safety, while also helping to strengthen a culture of care, accountability and continuous improvement. These awards are a powerful reminder that protecting people transcends borders, and that supporting employees to return home safe, healthy and happy each day is fundamental to long-term success and resilience.”
