I look forward to seeing safety advisors and clients throughout the UK benefit from the practiced and proven systems we have put in place. It’s an exciting opportunity for everyone involved.”


C2 safety are actively seeking franchisees to join their growing network and hope to grow to 40-60 franchises based on their unique and exciting business model, one that no one else is operating.

Businesses can sign up to become a franchise, safe in the knowledge that they will receive complete backing from the C2 Safety team and help with every step along the way.

C2 Safety owner, Jerome Timbrell, has run over 90 marathons, some dressed as the company mascot, Fire Marshall Foamy, to help raise the significant amount for charity. The charities that have benefitted from Jerome’s fantastic efforts include The Lighthouse Club, who support families of people from the construction industry, St Margaret’s Hospice in Taunton, MacMillan Cancer Support and a charity close to his heart, ‘It’s in the bag’ a testicular cancer charity in the South West.


Jerome says, “C2 Safety is dedicated to helping our local charities here in the South West and we like to do as much as we can to support those to help others across our region. I personally am looking to complete my 100thmarathon in May, which will be a 100 mile run. I am also hoping for a world record for the most marathons run in a company mascot costume as well as teaching myself to rollerblade ahead of an in-line skate marathon I am doing in September. Charity really is at the very fore front of our business.”


Jerome and Linda have much entrepreneurial experience and have worked together at C2 Business Solutions, the parent company of C2 Safety as well as other Health and Safety business projects. Their vast experience has enabled them to help many other businesses throughout the South West in a range of industries and sectors.
