About Us

Thorne Safety & Compliance was established with one simple aim: to provide businesses with straightforward, professional advice that genuinely helps them stay safe, compliant and confident.

We understand that most business owners do not need unnecessary jargon or paperwork for the sake of it. They need practical advice, realistic solutions and a trusted consultant who understands the day-to-day pressures of running a business.

Our Story

Founded by Lee Thorne, Thorne Safety & Compliance brings together experience across food safety, health and safety, and fire safety to provide a single source of professional compliance support.

Having worked with organisations ranging from independent businesses to multi-site operators, manufacturers, hospitality venues, charities and landlords, Lee understands that every business is different. That is why every recommendation is tailored to the way each client actually operates.

Our Approach

Our approach is based on partnership rather than policing.

We take the time to understand your business, identify the risks that genuinely matter and provide proportionate recommendations that are practical to implement.

Whether you need a one-off inspection, a fire risk assessment, help preparing for an Environmental Health visit or long-term retained consultancy support, our objective is always the same: helping your business achieve and maintain compliance with confidence.

Lee Thorne

Founder

Thorne Safety & Compliance was founded by Lee Thorne with a simple objective: to provide businesses with professional, practical and straightforward support across food safety, health and safety, and fire safety.

Lee understands that most businesses do not need unnecessary jargon or overly complicated systems. They need clear advice, practical solutions and a trusted consultant who takes the time to understand how their business operates. That is exactly the approach he has built Thorne Safety & Compliance upon.

Working with organisations ranging from independent cafés, pubs and restaurants to drinks manufacturers, warehouses, commercial premises, residential properties, charities and multi-site businesses, Lee provides tailored support that helps clients meet their legal responsibilities while protecting their people, reputation and business.

Whether undertaking Fire Risk Assessments, carrying out workplace inspections, reviewing Food Safety Management Systems, supporting refurbishment projects or acting as an ongoing safety adviser, Lee works alongside his clients to provide practical guidance and long-term support rather than simply producing reports.

Above all, Lee believes that good safety and compliance should never become an unnecessary burden. His aim is to build long-term relationships with clients by providing honest advice, practical solutions and dependable support that businesses can genuinely rely upon.
