At last count, we're stopping over £10m of claims each year through our award-winning methodology

We partner with insurers like AXA, brokers, lawyers, architects, floor suppliers, H&S consultants & other key stakeholders to educate on the importance & complexity of slips

Our 5,000+ client sites range from CBRE shopping centres to IHG hotels, from independent schools to restaurant chains, from local authority leisure centres to Network Rail train stations

𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭?

⚠️ Slips are the most common cause of accident, injury & claim. An average claim is £10k but the true cost of an accident is £100k+

⚠️ There have been £700k+ criminal fines after serious slip incidents (fines are *not* insurable)

⚠️ Insurance premiums are rising; given slips are 33%+ of claims, managing this risk is a way to prevent your insurance cost skyrocketing


𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐰𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩 𝐲𝐨𝐮?

✅ Our process reduces slip accidents by at least 50%+ in clients’ buildings

✅ We often improve a floor from a 1 in 20 to a 1 in 1,000,000 accident risk exposure through an anti-slip floor treatment. Yes, that’s a 500,000X reduction in risk!

✅ We also gather Pendulum Slip Test data which helps to defend more claims

✅ Added bonus: we deep clean the floors you thought were uncleanable


𝐖𝐡𝐨 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐛𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐭?

👉 Building owners & managers. Protect your staff & clients as well as the bottom line by making floors safer

👉 Insurers & brokers. Slips are the biggest driver of poor loss ratios. Preventing accidents & improving defensibility significantly drives up profitability

👉 Architects and construction professionals. It’s vital to ensure that floor surfaces specified (& actually handed over) are clean & safe

The SAFER Portal enables underwriters to protect their loss ratios by reducing slip insurance claim frequency and improving claims defensibility

This is achieved at scale, including internationally, through a digital platform


Why are slips such a problem for underwriters?
◾️ Slips cause the bulk of losses in most casualty books: a £1bn+ annually just in the UK
◾️ A single claim can wipe out years' profit on a given client
◾️ Yet premium is often too low for direct risk management intervention at sufficient scale to make a dent in the sheer volume of losses
◾️ And almost all advice & training is too generalist, too “fluffy” and has no practical, implementable element – so it doesn’t make a difference


How does The SAFER Portal solve these problems?
◾️ Enables digital risk management at scale, even internationally
◾️ Implements proven, practical slip safety tools to physically reduce risk in clients’ buildings; driving down accident frequency
◾️ Tracks activity and adherence to produce claims defensibility evidence and to provide valuable insights for underwriters
◾️ Facilitates sensible pricing discussions by proving risk management activity and successes in the largest area driving loss ratios


My credentials:
◾️ I've prevented over £30m of claims in the last 3 years with my practical risk reduction services
◾️ Typically our clients see at least a 50% reduction in accidents
◾️ But we can't be at every building. The Portal makes a difference for the masses without hands-on involvement


What are the outputs?
✔️ Clients get best-in-class knowledge and frameworks
✔️ Proven risk reduction and claims defensibility systems are implemented
✔️ All client activity is tracked and evidenced


Benefits for underwriters:
✅ Lower accident and claims frequency
✅ Improve claims defensibility rates
✅ Protect premium levels and underwriting profitability
✅ Strengthen client relationships through value and innovation

Christian Harris

Does any of this sound familiar?

“I’m the best kept secret”
“When I get in front of clients I do ok, but I can’t get their attention”
“I wish I had a steady flow of H&S or FM buyer leads”
“If only people knew what I know, they’d see that they need us”

It doesn’t have to be that way. You can achieve results like this:
✅ 3 million + social media views per year (without ads)
✅ 24,000 LinkedIn connections, growing at 250+ per month
✅ 1,000+ webinar attendees
✅ A steady flow of interested and qualified H&S and FM buyer leads
✅ Consistent 33%+ annual sales growth
✅ Winning awards, being quoted by the BBC and regularly being invited to speak

These are the results I’ve achieved, and now I am ready to share them with you.

There are six keys to success:
🟢 Profile – your value must be clear for all to see
🟢 Content – you must disrupt and influence thoughts to attract attention
🟢 Outreach – don’t wait for them, reach out to them
🟢 Events – share your value to large audiences, not 121, to speed up momentum
🟢 Diagnostic – pre-qualify your prospects and pre-sell them on the need to work with you
🟢 Sales – real artists ship – you must sell to get cash in the bank

Would you like to learn how, in 90 days, you can:
☑️ Double your LinkedIn connections and followers
☑️ Implement a proven, systemised content strategy to drive inbound inquiries
☑️ Attract a steady stream of qualified, pre-sold prospects for your product or service
☑️ Accelerate your profile, leads and sales

Then register for an introductory webinar at www.christian-harris.co.uk

I’ll walk you through how and why these six keys need to be turning and what outcomes you can achieve in under 90 days

I’ll also have a special offer for how you can work closely with me – copying the proven systems and processes I’ve implemented myself – to achieve these outcomes, within 90 days, in your business

Teaching how to generate consistent interest, leads and sales from H&S and FM buyers

Leisure Expert Panel

The Leisure Expert Panel was formed to bring together the stakeholders and influencers who hold interest in the way in which the leisure industry manages health, safety, security and risk and whom will either be subject to scrutiny of its management systems or make decisions on liability (both criminal and civil). These persons will already be involved in performing a management, advisory, representative or regulatory role within the leisure industry.

The aims of the Panel are to consider and promote ways to reduce the risk of injury and loss within the leisure industry and promote consistency in operations and regulation.

Given slips are the biggest cause of insurance claim in the leisure sector, I helped drive - and co-authored - a best-practice guidance document published by the Panel on this subject.

Stagière / Intern

Safety is personal to me. When you get run over by a car that loses control and mounts the kerb (May 2012), it’s tough not to become extremely passionate about keeping people safe!

But I also believe that safety is key to business performance: “Safetynomics”. It’s not just morally right to ensure safety, it makes financial sense too.

My business, Slip Safety Services, combines both:
a) on average, clients see a 57% reduction in slip accidents and injuries
b) clients are preventing £10m+ of insurance claims each year



Slip accidents are a relevant risk to 85% of businesses (The State Of Safety, 2022). They cause 300,000 A&E admissions and £1bn+ of insurance claims a year.

I’ve never visited a business that has no “slips, trips and falls” risk assessment, policies and procedures. We’re all trying our best.

But, RIDDOR rates have been flatlining at c.30% for the last 10+ years. Conclusion: the basics have got us as far as they can...

The question is: how can we change this? How can we go from good to great?



The difference between the status quo and a 57%+ reduction is this: taking a fresh, scientific approach to an age-old problem – I call this “Slipology”.

It’s a 5-step process:
1) Assess
2) Amend
3) Advocate
4) Assure
5) Affirm

With 6x key drivers to improve performance and reduce risk (CHIMES):
⚬ Contamination
⚬ Heel
⚬ Individual
⚬ Maintenance
⚬ Environment
⚬ Surface



Key outcomes my team and I can help you to achieve:
🧾 Have certainty and evidence that your risks are under control
📉 Reduce slip risk by 50,000X, instantly, proven by science
💰 Save cost (capex, opex, claims & premiums)
💤 Sleep easy at night by feeling safer
⚠️ 57%+ fewer accidents & injuries
⚖️ Make any floor type legally safe

TBWA\Manchester

When BDHTBWA\ and TEQUILA\ merged to become TBWA\ Manchester, my remit was to front the agency’s Creative Department and integrate all aspects of creativity that this one single company - with one P and L - could now deliver. 

Responsible for over 40 people in the Creative Department, part of my role was to get teams working in new media and in more collaborative ways than previously. 

As part of the Senior Management team, I was pivotal in helping the agency to win 8 new business pitches and 12 awards. Client scores for creativity improved dramatically. 

I also worked with D&amp;AD North and nurtured strong links with local Universities  - especially Preston and MMU - to implement a constant flow of graduate work placements within the Creative Department.

Executive Creative Director

TEQUILA\Manchester

Employed when the company first started, my remit was to help build the business and develop a first class creative department. 

We grew the company from five people to seventy five in just two years. Both the creative department and the production department were my responsibility. 

Developing the people in the business and the culture of the business was a key responsibility and I organised and hosted away days for both the creative department and account management to develop the team working and vision and values of the company.

The company was also well awarded for its creative and effectiveness, plus during this time I was also asked to run the creative department of TEQUILA\London for a period of three months.

Creative Director

Jaywing

Ran my own creative team working across a number of brands. This was where I gained my first experience of leadership. I also had total responsibility for the HSBC and Beefeater accounts, producing the creative work with my team and also managing the client relationships and developing the business on those two accounts. The agency was also media neutral so I also gained valuable experience working both above and below the line.

Deputy Creative Director

POULTERS

Had a great experience to start a career in a great agency. Essentially given creative freedom to develop fresh innovative work. A perfect job for a graduate.

Magnet Kitchens sticks with Yorkshire roots and appoints new lead agency

It's not all work, work, work... Sometimes I escape the grind to compete in Mountain Marathons. Here are some recent pics from the OMM.

This year it was in the Lake District.
It's a two-day event.
A lot of elite international teams. So a great atmosphere.
My teammate is the most excellent Alistair Innes Macdonald, who's navigation skills are simply wow.

My role is to keep up.
Keep smiling.
And take photos when Ali isn't looking. :)

Even bumped into a familiar face the night before the start.
Great to see you Charles Ross. 

Plus bumping into someone on the fells that I hadn't seen for 20 years!
Great to see you Peter Lawless

And of course I wouldn't go without my FLOC hat.

Convention doesn't win. 


The most successful businesses aren’t always the loudest; they’re the smartest about their brand strategy. 👇 

I’ve explored this in depth in a recent article, sharing why every business benefits from insights and direction that you might not get from standard approaches.

If you’re intent on building a brand that delivers long-term results, have a read.

Just read the new McKinsey State of Marketing Europe 2026 report. The number one thing European marketing teams are focused on this year? Not AI, but what...

94% of CMOs are still figuring out AI. 
But the 6% who've actually embedded it are seeing 22% efficiency gains.

Yet the top priority for 2026 isn't AI or the shiny new tools. 

It's brand.

(see screen grabs below)

Makes sense when you think about it. 
In uncertain times, people gravitate toward brands they trust. 

Strong brand = clarity, consistency, something solid to hold onto.

Worth a read if you're thinking about where marketing's actually heading.

I wrote Brand Warfare because someone needed to say out loud what most already know…..

Pitching is broken.

Most strategy decks are a list of tactics.

The majority of ( not all) Marketing Directors are bloody useless and can go a full career jumping from brand to brand achieving absolutely nothing at any of them. 

And the best ideas don’t come from outspending the competition. They come from outthinking them. 

My book is the unapologetic version of that truth. It’s part story, part warning, part blueprint told through my 32 years of working with brands the last twenty of which has been exclusively at C Suite. It goes into detail on brands that grew and transformed sectors because I got them to choose bravery over bureaucracy.

If you’re tired of the same recycled narratives and want to create work that actually moves people, reading Brand Warfare might just do more for you than another conference, seminar or whitepaper.

Nano Banana Pro from Google Gemini has moved on a bit. Our agency's values in a poster took 30 seconds. This has possibilities in the right hands. The creative debate continues with AI, but as a tool, this has potential we can't ignore.
