From local consultancy to global player

Founded in June 2015 by Simon and Cate Walter, Rhino Safety Ltd started as a small, family-run management consultancy dedicated to improving workplace health and safety standards. Balancing the demands of a young family with the challenges of building a business from the ground up, Simon and Cate committed themselves to making a meaningful impact by supporting other SMEs with reliable safety solutions. Their hands-on, people-first approach quickly earned Rhino Safety a reputation as a trusted partner among small businesses. This commitment to quality became the foundation for Rhino Safety’s growth.

The Covid-19 pandemic marked a key moment in Rhino Safety’s journey. As health and safety requirements evolved rapidly, the demand for effective and efficient external safety support surged, and Rhino Safety was primed to step up. By swiftly adapting its services to meet the emerging needs of businesses across multiple sectors, Rhino Safety solidified its role as a go-to safety partner for companies ranging from small enterprises to large, multi-site global organisations. Their broad expertise—covering industries from retail and agriculture to aviation and engineering—has set Rhino apart from competitors who often focus on specific sectors. This approach, combined with a strong emphasis on commercially-minded compliance, has enabled Rhino Safety to deliver innovative safety practices that not only protect workers but also add commercial value for clients.

Today, Rhino Safety Ltd is recognised as a leader in health and safety, known for prioritising client satisfaction, continuous improvement, and adaptability. Their achievements are underscored by multiple awards, including recognitions for community contributions and a recent finalist position for ‘International Trader of the Year’ following their expansion into the UAE market. This milestone was supported by RAKEZ, whose expert guidance facilitated Rhino’s smooth entry into the UAE business community—a previously daunting prospect. The support from RAKEZ enabled Simon and Cate to navigate legal requirements and connect with local networks confidently.

As Rhino Safety continues to grow, the company remains dedicated to evolving its service offerings. They are exploring more sustainable ways of operating, integrating cutting-edge technology to provide clients with real-time insights into safety performance across global sites. By maintaining a client-first approach and staying at the forefront of health and safety innovations, Rhino Safety is positioned to lead as an industry benchmark, setting standards for effective, sustainable, and commercially beneficial safety practices. The team’s ongoing commitment to innovation and its partnership with RAKEZ marks the beginning of a new chapter as Rhino Safety aims to expand its international footprint, protecting workers and promoting a culture of safety worldwide.
