"The ethos of the company is based around impartiality and integrity to help protect everyone from the dangers posed by exposure to asbestos."
AHT Insights Ltd was established to help organisations with asbestos responsibilities fulfil their legal duties with confidence - through practical, kinetic learning grounded in real operational experience.
Director Martin Saunders has worked across every level of the asbestos industry since 1999. He began as an analyst and surveyor, progressed through project management and dutyholder roles, and spent 8 years as a UKAS Technical Assessor and BOHS Course Assessor - evaluating organisations and training providers to the highest professional standards.
Most recently, Martin served as a Senior Scientist at HSE Science Division for 3.5 years, co-authoring research reports RR1217 and RR1218, designing and presenting the HSE Asbestos in Buildings course, and leading national asbestos research projects.
We have wide-ranging experience with regulatory requirements, which means we can give practical, reliable advice across most industries. Our experience spans across private and commercial landlords to large industrial sites like refineries and power stations, understanding each has their own complexities.
Having previously acted as an asbestos duty holder - including managing high-risk materials such as spray coatings in challenging environments and under regulatory scrutiny - this gives us valuable real-world perspective. It helps us understand the pressures our clients face and offer guidance that is both realistic and compliant.
Everything we do turns regulatory knowledge into real working practice - with tools you can apply in your organisation from day one.
