Safety is our specialty
SoloProtect helps organisations across the UK to protect their greatest assets - their people. Our comprehensive end-to-end safety solution is the only one of its kind in the industry, covering every aspect from device deployment and user training to real-time monitoring and emergency response. Our technology is trusted by 365,000 lone workers, helping to keep them safe from both social and environmental risks.
SoloProtect was formed in 2003, with the aim of providing innovative personal safety devices for lone or remote workers.
Initially, our customers base mainly comprised of government organisations with significant numbers of staff working alone, many out in the community. Over the last decade, an increasing number of private sector organisations and charities have also deployed a SoloProtect lone worker safety solution. This has been driven by a better understanding of how it can reduce risk, boost compliance, improve business continuity measures, protect brands, reduce staff attrition, and improve recruitment messages and staff wellbeing.
SoloProtect is owned by the Broady family, US investors with a proven track record of developing growth in recurring revenue and technology businesses.
