APA Associates

Phillip Allen established APA Associates in 1990 as a group of independent safety training providers from various parts of the country and from different specialisations. Its purpose was to support each other from time to time by providing a particular expertise or simply bringing additional capacity to the larger client.

As time moved on Phillip started to look for a path to retirement and accordingly began to reduce his client base from 2016. Fortunately, a likely successor appeared in long term client Marc Reed during 2018.

Phillip spent the following 3 years mentoring Marc in formalising his expertise to obtain appropriate Safety and Training qualifications, whilst providing wider experience working across the APA Associates client base.

As of January 2022, Marc Reed is leading APA Associates through his own company, Anzen Safety and Compliance Ltd. Phillip Allen’s involvement in APA Associates is now limited to that of an occasional advisor when and if added capacity is required, retirement activities permitting.

We all wish Phillip a long and happy retirement.
