Empire Announce Health & Safety Appointment

Leading North-east HR firm Empire has appointed a key member to their health and safety division.

Gill Hutchinson has joined the team as health and safety manager to support the company’s continuing growth in this area.

Empire currently employs 23 members of staff at their headquarters in Aberdeen.

Ms Hutchison has been a H&S professional since 2000, initially as a health & safety manager for a large voluntary organisation in London before taking on a consultancy role with a large Manchester based company.

With her experience in the industry, she brings a wealth of knowledge to Empire, which will be beneficial to their clients across the country.

Her role will see her lead and develop the H&S division of the business and she will be working closely with the company’s wide client base to ensure they are updating and reviewing their policies as required by law.

Ms Hutchison said: “I made a commitment to make a difference to safety standards in the workplace after being exposed to ill-managed industry related hazards and health and safety is an area which every employer should be managing. At Empire I am going to initially focus on making that process easier for our clients to understand through updating and reviewing policies to make them more concise and easier to comply with.”

Ms Hutchison has relocated to Scotland from Cumbria with her 14-year-old daughter to take on the new position.

Operations Director, Peter-Jon Chalmers, said: “Gill is an excellent addition to the team at Empire and her expertise in the health and safety arena is excellent and her skills and ability to explain policies in simple terms will be hugely beneficial to all of our clients.”
